Deep pockets hmm? Are the kids asking for new toys, or are you looking for things to get them to do to stop them driving you mad? And are you regretting your decision not to have five or six yet? :)
Deep Pockets While the board was being cleaned up and reset Margaret went to get a cup of milky coffee, and while standing in the queue she felt an odd closeness and then a sudden weight on a pocket in her sensible khaki slacks. She turned, feeling her tendons ping and her muscles complain, but there was no-one behind her, walking away, or even off to her side. When she put her hand in her pocket though she pulled out a string of scrabble tiles neatly chained together into words with the blank tile used for spaces. "Deep Pockets," she breathed, mostly to herself, unable to believe that she had received a message from the most talked about and least seen scrabble player in the county.

Greg - oh, Max is always asking for new toys. And good lord, no. Two is plenty.
Oh man, this is a great take on the prompt. I was expecting something to do more directly with their opponent, but this reveal is fantastic :)
