LIFE LESSONS FROM A SCRABBLE GAME
Fun with Words the Scrabble Edition
A 100-word, micro-fiction of one-liners.
Earlier today, I saw a guy drop his scrabble letters in the street. I kind of chuckled as I walked over, thinking of a joke. As I helped, I asked, “What’s the word on the street?”
He said, “Funny you should ask. Yesterday, my dog ate all the tiles. He kept leaving me little messages all over the house. It was a trying day; my dog can’t spell for shit.”
I took him to the vet, who said, “Don’t worry, they’ll all come out after a spell. He won’t win any spelling bees, but don’t let it give you pause.”
