Too Fond of Vaginas?

Yesterday, KarenLynnn and I started a new Words with Friends game. It started out like most games do. A crummy word played first, a not great word played second and then everything went to hell — for me, at least. And it was my own damn fault for being so fond of vaginas.

After I played my first word, I found myself looking at all of the letters I’d need to spell “Vagina” and I was sure I’d be able to play the word on my next turn.

But I couldn’t. So I did something dumb, in the scheme of the game, I played one letter for something like 9 points. I laughed at myself and shrugged. My new tile was… an “S”. Hot damn! Surely on my next turn I’ll be able to use all of my tiles and play “Vaginas”!! How awesome is that?

Except I couldn’t. So I did something else really stupid, in the scheme of the game — something I NEVER DO. I passed.

Yep. I passed.

Next round, I still could not play the word I wanted! Damn that Karenlynnn! It’s like she knew what my tiles were and was intentionally blocking me from having my fun.

So. I played an “S”. Yep. I did that.

All the while, KarenLynnn is stacking up the points and I’m floundering around with like 30 points after five rounds.

Next round, I still could not play “Vagina” or “Vaginas” or “Vaginal”.

I might have let out a little sob. Maybe.

I said goodbye to my dreams of playing “Vagina” and tossed out a few letters.

Next round… there was the perfect place to play “Vaginas” and I no longer had the proper letters. I might have let out another little sob.

Someday I’ll get to play “Vagina” in a Words with Friends game.

Someday. Someday. Someday.

Vagina. Vagina. Vagina.
