Scrabble?

This conversation just happened in my classroom (note that student C is known for her clueless comments):


ME: What is the basic summary of Act II, scene v of Romeo and Juliet?

student A: The Nurse tells Juliet where to meet Romeo to get married.

student B: And that she'll set up a ladder for Romeo to get to Juliet that night.

student C: Why?

ME: So they can play Scrabble.

student C: I don't know how to play Scrabble.

ME: Good. You're all too young to play Scrabble.




Aish! The things that come out of my mouth!

On another note: "A" is for Alibi is my first foray into the Grafton universe. It's OK. It takes place in Santa Barbara, which is kinda fun since I know that town so well. I think it would be good for long plane flights or for when one is ill--moments when you want to read, but you don't want to use your brain.
