A Word Game

   My mother and I had a bit of fun this evening on a short shopping trip. One of us gives two letters and we take turns stating words that begin with those letters until one of us runs out of words to add. The rules are simple: all words must begin with the two letters mentioned, and no word can be repeated. Any other rules can be added or removed at your discretion, such as no proper nouns. The last person who thinks of a word wins the round.

   For instance, let's use the example "BO". Assuming someone has used the word "bore", another person cannot use the word "bored" or "boring", being as they are the same word in a different tense. One however may say "boar" since, while being a homonym, it is spelled differently and has an entirely different meaning. Try it. It's funner than you might think.
