Some people are destined for greatness...

I am fated to play Bananagrams.

I saw them in a toy store one day and they captured my attention because, you know, adorable packaging and words, together. I didn't buy them because my money was destined for Triominoes for my Mom's birthday present.

Then my 3-Day novel needed a character to want to go to Toronto. On a whim, I decided to have him going to a Bananagrams championship.

Last night, I went to my parents' place for dinner. After dinner, my Mom brings out a little banana-shaped bag: Bananagrams!

"Oh, so you read my novel," I say, thinking Mom sought the game out after reading the story I'd emailed to her only a couple of days ago.

"I haven't had a chance yet, actually. Why?"

I got "geist" in the only round I won.

I must buy my own copy and then force everyone who enters my home to play it. Bananagrams is my destiny.
