Playing Scrabble

I have a seven letter word But no place to play it I hope she will put something down I can use No such luck Hold on to it for another round. She makes 123 points playing off her own tile. There is no opening for my word. I look for triple word score, double word score, Triple letter score. I finally play and get a pathetic twenty-four points. An hour later I see my chance. If she does not take my spot, I can have a word worth 145 points. Bam. She takes the spot. This is what it is like every time I play with my daughter. It is like she knows where I am going, and she always takes my spot. Scrabble. Bah. But can I quit playing? No way!
