A Test of Patience
This afternoon, my sister, brother and I had a game of Scrabble. It is now the "must have" game whenever my brother visits. It is addictive and it really tests your vocabulary.....and patience.
As the game slowly progressed, my patience started to waver. A few times, my sister took extra long to decide where and what word to put, and I had to ask her to hurry up. My brother will then say "patience, patience". Then when it's my turn to think long and hard, where and what word to put, my sister will take revenge by asking me to hurry up or miss a turn. My brother will then repeat "patience, patience". In the end, my brother won the game.
So the moral of the story is:
If you want to win a game of Scrabble, don't say "hurry up". Say "patience".
