Last night the intention to ask kind of stirred in my mind.
This morning I decided what the hell, why not?
This afternoon I was putting away my Scrabble game and thought "ahah!"
Later that evening....
A: Hey unscramble this. Toss him a zip-lock bag with Scrabble letter tiles in it.
X: Huh?! (there was after all about 20 tiles in the bag)
A: It's a phrase. 7 words.
X: Laughs. Can I at least get a subject?
A: No... (thinks: it'll be too easy)
X: mumbles something like oh my god....
X: mumbles something like oh my god....
A: Fine.. I'll tell you the number of letters in each word: 4, 3, 2, 2, 4, 4, 2
X: Writes down the number of letters.
A: Continues what she was doing thinking he's going to be awhile.
-7 seconds later?-
X: Yes!
A: Looks up, surprised. The tiles were still unscrambled in front of him. Are you even sure what it says?
X: Rearrange tiles.
I actually went "Aww" when I saw that picture.
ReplyDeleteBut it's up to your interpretation of whether it's an "aww that's so corny" or "aww that's so cute".
Too bad scrabble doesn't have a question mark tile. You should have threw in a blank tile to confuse him. LOOL.
ReplyDeletehe got it fast enough w/o the question mark...
ReplyDelete& I thought of making my own question mark...but it would have been TOO obvious
