I don't play much Scrabble because Charlotte is way better at it than I am and it's not the most fun to play something repeatedly and lose. Today I played my highest-scoring move, with "favours" on the end of "walking" for 94 points.
Of course I was playing against Tabitha at the time, so instead of a smug celebration, I just made my baby sad.
Parenthood is a curious thing. As Charlotte grew more and more pregnant, a bizarre thing happened: people felt compelled to share their observations on her physical appearance, almost constantly.
We got an iPad game for Tabitha to play. Facing the task of choosing something for her to play has filled me with dread, but someone recommended one to Charlotte and removed the responsibility so that was fortunate.
