"I'll make a mythical word"

Fox has started to play Scrabble. He found the box, and asked

gaudior to teach him the game. In their beginner's version, all the tiles are face up, so he could just find the letters he needed. He asked for help with some of the spelling, but he thought of all the horizontal words and set them down: BOOM! (with the blank tile standing in for the exclamation point, which he insists is part of the word), SNAKE, CRASH, GOAT (he wanted to do GHOST but couldn't find another S in the blankets), and TOTORO.

A picture exists of him putting down the last O in TOTORO. He said that going over the edge of board meant that he'd won the game: "I can use all those word-weapons."

The upside-down board is a nice touch.

Later play got a bit inventive. Fox wanted to go over the edge again, so he added HI to CENTAUR, to make it a speech, and then I and another I.

He'll be five next month.
