I meant “Spelling Jungle” because when my kids were playing it, there was this Yoda-like old man who’d correct the speller by saying, “The letter A would have been a wiser choice.” (And we used that damn phrase for way too many other things…like “Doing your assigned chores would have been a wiser choice…what?…no, we don’t pay you an allowance to just do normal human chores! You were supposed to take out the trash/make your bed/do some other now-irrelevant thing two hours ago! Get off the computer! Go do that irrelevant thing I told you to do and then go play outside!” (Maybe this is what “boomer” really means.)
