OK I might beleive you, but need a picture first...
Speaking of pictures, I have recorded my son learning to levitate objects and loaded them all into my gallery, in order.
Just go into my gallery, (under Charles), change the sort to "Recent" and click on the first picture. Read the captions as you go and click on the next one to get the whole sequence.
PS Don't forget to read the captions...

Bugis isn't growing at all. I'm not sure where I've been going wrong. Do you think I should try feeding him?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?

Hmm, wouldn't be Bovril, I think he got puked on, not drooled on...
Ok so that means...

Charles ... What's normal?
Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Sanity is a highly overrated state of mind.

Normal...normal is whatever you are used to...
for me, a normal bike has one wheel...
a normal sculpture is made out of latex...
a normal bulletin board talks about spinning balls of fire about your body...
a normal...
a normal...
But enough about me, Bird/B-Skullduggery, I'll let you play Scrabble if Gidg is in as well, that makes 4 players, and we'll forget the whole 'B' thing...
:-)
And where is C@ntus anyway...

Only on a triple word score!
*** Charles plays the first round, placing "FLEECED" with the F on the only multiple tile it can be placed.
The next person gets a go if they guess correctly what the first score is (remember the first word played is doubled).
You'll have to keep track of which letters have been used as well!
