Cryptologic revisited

When I was a kid, we had the Odyssey gaming system (it was like Atari, but nerdier). One of the games was Cryptologic, in which player 1 entered a word (with player 2 out of the room), scrambled it, and then player 2 tried to decipher it.

In one particular game, my brother and sister had entered a phrase that I used constantly. Unfortunately for me, I was having a very hard time figuring it out. So I said, "I'm never going to get this, right mommy?" Of course, "right mommy" was the encrypted phrase. Apparently, I said it a lot.

So now Isaac is seeking validation for all of his thoughts, as well. Every other sentence ends with "right mommy?" It's rather cute coming from a three year old. Right mommy?

kath, how DO you remember such things? i tell you... i have a HORRIBLE memory, and don't remember that story at all.

still, i'm glad to know that THIS one has a happy ending, since isaac's question is certainly bringing a smile to your face.

right, mommy??? :-)

How do you NOT remember this? She was nearly in tears trying to guess the phrase, and we were laughing so hard!
