My favorite parts of my work day make their grand appearance when my co-worker busts out her crossword puzzle book.
"Heather..." -said tenatively. "Who was Jacob's brother?"
"Esau. E-S-A-U."
"Thanks."
And later... "French for water is--agua?"
"Eau. E-A-U." (I only know that because I lived in Eau Claire, WI, or Clear Water.)
"Drome-dairies?"
"How's it spelled?"
"D-r-o-m-e-d-a-r-i-e-s."
"Dromedary..." I'm wracking my brain here...it's on the tip of my tongue, and I feel dumb for not remembering.
"People who like too much drama?"
"No...camels!" Good timing, brain!
"It was Cain and Able, right?"
"Yup." Wow, this puzzle is biblical...
She gets a lot of them herself, but goodness does this game make me feel smart!
Okay, sometimes I Google....
