9:08 am
mkg
hi all. any clues for the 8 or 9 out there? ty
9:08 am
mkg
need stats too. ty
9:09 am
hurshy
well in star trek fandom, it is unnamed security guards who you know are probably going to die
9:09 am
hurshy
in the rest of the world, it is something to do with letting college students play sports as freshmen twice or something
9:10 am
hurshy
or maybe they don't play their freshman year so that is why they can play the next year as freshmen?
9:10 am
mael
these days it's also holding boys back to start K a year later so they'll be bigger for sports in school
9:11 am
mkg
are those clues hurshy?????????
9:12 am
mael
compound word, mkg. Color and item of clothing
9:12 am
hurshy
either way, it is a compound. 8/50
9:12 am
flosey
good ones hursh.
9:13 am
hurshy
i do NOT see what one can get for M besides the pair
9:13 am
granadan
We held two of ours back from starting school - because they weren't ready, nothing to do with sports. Why would anyone care about sports with tiny kids? (genuine question, not being salty)
9:14 am
mael
because they'll always be bigger and older than their classmates and therefore presumably better at sports and with more opportunities there
9:14 am
rururocks
i started school early.. since my birthday was just after the school year start
9:15 am
granadan
Crazy. I dont think we are as sport obsessed here in UK. Or dont have the way to use it to get through to Uni.
9:15 am
rururocks
plus my Mother couldn't wait to get rid of me for the day
9:15 am
mael
I couldn't wait to send my children to K, but I know (and kinda judge) parents who held theirs back on purpose
9:15 am
mael
for sport reasons, not for school reasons obviously
9:16 am
granadan
If your kids werre happy then great. But you are welcome to judge me for holding a couple back - I do whats right for my kids, not anyone else.
9:16 am
mkg
any clues for the 8 or 9? or stats? ty.
9:16 am
granadan
ah sorry
9:16 am
mael
mkg, we've been giving you clues. color + item of clothing
9:17 am
