The Three-Letter Word


My husband’s sister recently introduced him to Scrabble on the iPad and H absolutely loves it.  He usually plays a couple of games each night before going to bed, grumbling over words played by the computer that can’t be found in the Scrabble Dictionary and then cheering himself on when he outplays his invisible opponent.  It’s a good brain challenge for him.

H also works from home and I have discovered that at lunchtime he has been playing a game or two while sitting in my office with P the cat perched on his lap, observing.  I really didn’t think much about it, other than I was pleased that the cat had some additional human one-on-one time during the work day.  That is, until I heard H talking to the cat last night.

What’s that you say?  You found a triple-word score?  CAT?  That’s great!

Later H confided to me, The only problem is that P only knows three- and four-letter words, which doesn’t give us a very high score.

Hmmmmm…maybe I need to be concerned.
