Hangman!

Have you ever played Hangman with a six year old?  As of this morning, I have.  Let me just clue you in--it is a no-win proposition.  Case in point:  Soleil, who is pretty darn smart in her own right, got me to play her in a game of Hangman.  She choose the word, which it turned out, was "explosion."  However, to increase the degree of difficulty, she altered the spelling slightly.  As we progressed through the game, and my poor stick guy got closer and closer to being hung, I realized I had no chance and thought she had really gotten me.  Then, when I "lost" and got her to reveal the word, I found that there were a surprising number of letters in interesting places.  Oh well, it was fun, and she was sure proud (and rubbed it in), but I'm telling you--be prepared to lose if you play her in Hangman.
