RALFing

A friend of ours recently introduced us to Words with Friends. It has quickly taken over our whole household so that frequently you will hear someone screaming from another room, "NOOOOOOO!" or, "Seventy-three points for ZEP? You've got to be kidding me! That's not even a word!" The latter has happened enough times that we have changed the name of the game. It is no longer Words with Friends, but rather Random Arrangement of Letters with Friends, or RALF. Now in addition to the howls of frustration you will also hear someone say, "Hey, have you RALFed yet today?"

Calvin wanted to get in on the action, so I've been playing with him. He is particularly good at RALFing. Some of his most recent words include PECH, FUD, and YAG, all RALF-tastic words. He has also discovered the chat function on the game where, in addition to playing, he likes to practice his trash talking.
