Scrabble

Bruce, his mom, and I like to play scrabble once in a while. Yesterday evening we broke out the board. Usually Bruce or I will come in first, though once in a while his mom will win. One of those times happened to be the evening that Kezi was born. We were playing scrabble at 7:00, Kezi was born at 10:20... let's just say my mind was not on the game. Anyway, last night was an interesting game. There are some "house rules" of course. One of them being after one person has played their last letter, everyone else gets one more turn. Then of course, any letters not played get subtracted from that player's score, and added to the score of the first person done. Bruce was the first to play his last letter. His score was 165. My turn was next. I was able to use up my two letters, my score was then 166. Last was his mom's turn. She had two letters, but was only able to play one. Her score came to 167, but then she had to subtract one point for her leftover letter, and give that point to Bruce. So the final scores... 166, 166, 166! The proof...
