Scrabble Vs. Me
If it weren’t for Smillew, I wouldn’t expose this truth
Once upon a time, when I was young, there was little to no technology at all. Anyway, I made peace at my techno limits as my son could solve it pretty well.
Since he was three years old he could change video cassettes and it worked fine until the day I broke the video recorder by putting the cassette on the wrong side. Never mind. That was long ago.
It came the more recent time of mobiles, ipads, and laptops. Still, he was helping out his idiotechny ma, by keeping her inside the virtual world.
The important fact is that I had a strong sense of self-confidence because of table games. I could win easily at Monopoly, Don’t Get Angry or Who’s Who, cards, and Risiko. But then, things change.
What happened dear? ’Cause I hear the impelling ranting and affliction coming behind your shoulders.
New generations are challenging me, even more than aging, or at the same level. Which is also fine. No video games, please!
Last Christmas I gave you my heart. Sorry (smile), that’s also something of the past.
Yesterday, (Christmas Day), a nine-year-old beat me at scrabble junior. No matter the help she handed down to me by abundantly explaining the rules. Not even the patience she showed me by suggesting some solutions I couldn’t find. And apart from telling me the names of the figures represented on the board game. No way I could win against that monster.
At my discharge, I have to admit it wasn’t my native language. What a double pity, trying to justify the shame!
It’s official, buds. I need a miracle!
Fortunately enough, # Smillew RahcuefIsLove showed up to help. He created a challenge to let me win…something. He was so, so kind, and guaranteed me a stunning place. I asked for a prize between the 6th and the 9th range. He answered with more generosity (look in the comment and find out what he promised).
So that, by now, SCRABBLE 0- ME 1 (and I want to tell you this problem with self-confidence is also Grimsby Hackney’s fault, because of his comments on 100 Stories by 100 Writers where he told me he knew where I was coming from; I mean do you know how long it took me to try and understand where I was coming from - meditations, courses, psychoanalysis, psych trainings and more -and there he comes freshly and jumping like an innocent kid saying he knows it all, using his depreciative language with almost everybody, but not with me, and that makes me think, maybe overthink, but that’s what Smillew wants: “does he know, by chance, someone wanted me to write blowjobs in his name to win at this grimy game?”).
P.S. I couldn’t create a personal photo as requested; it would have taken an eternity.
P.P.S. “I love you” is primarily addressed to myself, and secondly to all the ones who need to hear it. Better if listened in the audio mode: I love you!
