And Bingo’s the Name of the Game, O

Bingo is the slang term used in Scrabble when a player uses all seven tiles in one play. They are an essential part of achieving high scores; expert players frequently score three or more per game. I’m glad when I can put down two in a game, and I'm over the moon when my four-year-old spots one on her own.

Now granted, she did play a proper name – ROSARIO – but I let it go because I was already up 183 points. (Note to Brandon: I’d never be so gracious with you, even if I were up 1,830 points.)

I have to say: her bingo ranks right there with other Proud Dad Moments. In fact, it’s ahead of first steps and behind only first words.
