It is our nightly bedtime routine this June holidays to play some board games with Big Bee before we turn in for the night. So, we usually indulge in Boggle, Hangman and Scrabble. It could be because this Mummy is deadbeat almost every night with housework since our helper is away. It could be I am sleepy or distracted. But Big Bee began beating me in these games where I am usually a clear winner! And last night, she had that magnificent, throat-choking moment when she laid out all 7 of her tiles for the second time in a month to form the word "WEALTHY".
I was stumped. And a bit deflated because it means tonight is another losing night at Scrabble for me! But the elation and pure delight on Big Bee's face more than made up for it. We played for 20 minutes. And at the end of the game, the final score is: Big Bee 178; Mummy 72 (*hides my face*).
I think I better drink more coffee to be alert tonight.

Bravo!!! wow! That's really a very beautiful victory for her and guess sweet defeat for mommy too!
That is unbelievable! I am a Scrabble geek and I would not stand to a defeat, haha. Although I would be exceedingly proud like you if it ever happened.
Fantastic! I guess it must be very addictive for both of you - for her to win mummy and for mummy to allow her to hone her skills too. :>
Blessed mum: Yes, sweet defeat indeed! Now, even my Hubby was just recently defeated by her during our recent trip to Japan, and he is still sore from it!
Daphne: Yes, it is a bittersweet defeat, really - now I need to hone my Scrabble skills more!
Domesticgoddess: It is truly addictive, all these word games. She loves it, and so do Hubby and me - we just need to get over the losing bit! :)
