She passes the money as if it’s a brick of gold. You could almost see the pain in her eyes.
I can help you get out of jail if you really want.
Hmmm, she thought.
What’s there to think about? You can you get out of jail and have one less property, or sit there waiting for your time to be done.
I don’t know. Let me think about it.
Mwwwhahhwhh, I did my evil, “I will rule the world” laugh.
Sweet awesomeness.... The British version of Monopoly!
Look it’s right here, you give me your property and I will give you this golden ticket and you won’t have to spend one more moment in jail.
Okay…
And don’t make me remind you how bad jail is, and that you shouldn’t behave like that. You should really think about that before it happens again.
Okaaaayy Dad, How many times are we going to have to do this?
So I thought I would start to lecture…
Go to jail sweetie, and you have to pay the piper. You can’t just expect to tempt fate like it’s a roll-of-the-dice or something…
Dadddd!!! I’m not a little girl anymore! I know!
Double Mwwhahahah, I will rule the world! I continue to assist each one in their struggles to have bad things go away. First it was going to jail. Then they have to give their money to the bank, and they don’t have enough. So they sell their precious property to me…
Then at the last moment, just before I’ve dominated another market….
DADDD!!! your not funny, and your making it so I’m going to loose! And, quit fantasizing that your ruling the world! That evil finger to the mouth just makes you look silly.
Awww, now you’ve made me feel bad….
Teehee
How about if we play a game of Life instead? I said.
Yeah! Let me go get the box.
She’s awesome.
Sweet, I thought. I will become a doctor, have kids, get that mountain cottage, and skip over all the bad spots due to me continually rolling big numbers. [ Who knew that rolling big numbers would get you a better life? ]
Ah the while, I was thinking, “I wouldn’t want any other kind. What’s in front of me now is just pure awesome.”
See, it’s all about the quality time with the kids, isn’t it? Mine are the best past of my life, too.
Yes it is, Nicki, yes it is.
It is the best part.
Too cute. I agree with Nicki, having that quality time is absolutely the best and the little things are what make the best memories.
It will also be what I remember the most as I get older. It will be the good memories, and the correct decisions that will have a lasting affect. Thanks Linda.
so we need to rename you “evil, world conquering Dad”.
I wish the game of life was that easy don’t you? (honestly, it’s the one game I hate) and your children always rode in the car so nice like those little pink and blue pegs.
and i always wanted to win Nobel Prizes, and cure the common cold all at once!
that being said……i love game night.
Mwwwahhaha! I don’t know how you played, but my pink and blue pegs kept falling out of my car.
Game night beats common cold
ooh that reminds me:
Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica
Sounds like a game of Monopoly at our house!
[ Pinky finger to the mouth ] Excellent…
Unless someone is trying for world domination Monopoly just isn’t Monopoly. And you must being doing it right.
We have a really great time playing Monopoly in our house. It’s one of those where everyone is laughing too hard to actually finish it.
Tonight… my niece and nephews are coming to spend the night and we’re going to play our favorite game… Monopoly! Yay
Awesome! Don’t forget to make sure you let them win. Be nice. lol
LET them win, HA! They’ve been whooping my ass for years!
Nothing is better then to act evil and try and dominate Monopoly, and then go and loose big.
