I made her admit she was jealous

I’ve been playing Words With Friends with friends (ah, now I get it **eyeroll**) and family for a while now. My mom and I generally have several boards going at once. Right now there are four in various stages of completeness.

55 points!!

I’m just as competitive about this game as I am about everything else. That can be translated as VERY. I don’t know why I’m like this. Is it because I’m a first born? Does my Type A personality cause it? Am I Type A because I’m a first born? I think it’s probably my dad’s fault. He’d never, ever let us win at anything so when we finally got a win it was for real.

Whatever, I’m hyper competitive. Even I find it annoying at times.

So back to Words With Friends. I’d just won a game with Mom so I went ahead and started another game. My letters came up all scrambled as they do, and I started at them for a bit. I started giggling when I realized that I could play all my letters at once.

That’s a big freaking deal if you don’t know. I mean think about it. How many times do you get seven random letters at once that actually spell a word? I don’t know what the odds are. I’m not a mathematician. I’m a writer. I can spell mathematician without spell check, but I can barely add tax in my head.

So I played STEALTH and then giggled uncontrollably. I was giddy. I immediately went to the comments section where you can leave each other little notes. Usually this area is dominated by us bitching because we have no vowels or too many vowels or we’ve been cursed by drawing QJZX all in one draw. Sometimes we get to use the comments to brag on a really good play. Like any time you score 100+ points in one turn (I’ve done that 11 times by the way). Things can get pretty hairy when that happens. I’ve never been especially good at trash talk, that is until Words With Friends came along.

This has really upped my game.

I even had to call Mom to tell her to go look at that board and to marvel at my prowess! Things wound up on the call as you’d expect. She called me a mean name (spoken out of fear of losing, I’m sure) and hung up.

Bwahahahahahaahaha!
