    My older granddaughter is probably about half a year younger than “The Girl.” She was probably 12 years old the last time that I played Bananagrams with her. Trounced me EVERY TIME!!! Since English was my third language (and I learned it from a textbook), I had always assumed my skills were pretty good…
