In just so many words and four pictures, let me thank you for bringing joy to our summer evenings.
Mom is lax when it comes to rules. As long as someone can offer a good explanation for a word, she'll let it pass. Especially if she's the one who tries to offer the explanation. Unfortunately, we were not as generous. In the top pic, she tries to seduce us into buying her newly minted "påtitta. Roughly translated into another non-word:"onsee".
This is dad, with his word of the day "fegis", Swedish for coward. He loves that word.

Fabulous! I love playing Scrabble - and yes, I admit to making up words too. Your kids look a lot like their mormor, imho.
For YEARS our friend's son has worked the word "zenpod" in to conversations just to prove the validity of a scrabble game. Seriously, the kid is now 14 and this started when he was 11! He was so adamant about it being a word that he had to forfeit the game and go off to compose himself after "zenpod" was denied a place on the board. But you have to love a kid who, three years later, is still working the defense!
Your tile holders are so long! Do you use more than seven tiles?
zenpod! I love it. And yes, the kids look like mormor, very strong genes. And AMy, those are vintage tile holders, I think the new ones are shorter. We only use 7 tiles, but they don't look like yours since we also have Å,Ä and Ö.
joel might have a bit of morfar in there, too.
