Momma needs a Scrabble buddy

Daddy got Claire up today and was feeding her breakfast. He was letting me sleep in a little bit later.

After a while, I came out to the kitchen, and he says, “You know what she asked for already, don’t you?”

I had a pretty good idea. “M-O-N-K-E-Y C-H-doubleE-S-E?”

“Yep,” he said.

“You know what’s really funny? I just spelled her version of the word, and not what it really is.”

“It’s okay,” he said. “You’ll soon realize I can’t spell most words, so this game will prove to be very challenging for you in the future anyway.”
