Scrabble is one of my favorite games!  But, as you know, I live will all guys and most guys just don't get too excited over a game whose main strategy is to spell.  But I am dragging them along anyway.  Playing an entire game usually takes a while since they have a knack for coming up with all sorts of misspelled words, and words that don't even exist. 
"I can spell  D-O-C"
You can't use doc, it is short for doctor.  It is a nickname.
"Well, I it could be the  D-O-C  as in: the boat pulled into the doc."
That is D-O-C-K
"oh!"
This goes on forever on each turn.
I want to keep the game fun so I am very tempted to just let the misspelled words go, jot them down and then add them to their spelling lists but I just cannot bring myself to do it!
They come up with some doosies!  I must have repeated the phrase "that's not a word" at least 50 times this last game.
"How about I add  E-X-A  in front of this word "heron" so that I can get the triple word score.  It would spell the word  E-X-A-H-E-R-O-N"
Uh - good try - but thats not a word.
"Oh well, LIVE a little mom!"
And so my agony continues.  Two hours later we finish.
Suprisingly, they still enjoy playing the game.  The son who slows the game down the most with all his non-words and misspellings actually had the nerve to say:
"You know, this game would be much better if it just went a little faster". 
You think?
