Real Estate is not in my future

Published by amberlicious January 1st, 2009 in How my kids torment me

I just got trashed by a nine year old and a 6 year old in Monopoly.  TRASHED!  I was trying to win even.

    You should have cheated.

    Not that I condone cheating or anything.

    I haven’t played Monopoly in YEARS! And honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever played it the “right” way with all the rules and stuff. We used all the houses for Barbies when I was a kid, so we never could add extra properties to places in the game.

    Blame it on being overly tired on all your Christmas prep.

    well EVERYBODY I play Scrabble with is kicking my butt and I have a freaking English degree. Emily has never beaten me IRL and on Facebook she beat me by 150 points or something. My friend Lisa, who went o blasted beauty school for 10 months and is a hair sylist has kicked my ass over and over again.

    Ha! Brings back memories of the last time I played Monopoly with my older brother and his two teenaged nannies (yes, you can tell we were already grown with children at the time). He kept complaining because I always play with the attitude that if you land on someone’s property and they are not paying attention, you don’t pay up. He felt this was atrocious and vocalized about my cheating ways for hours. I say he’s just too darned competetive and possibly a tad bit inattentive!

    Wishing you the best in 2009! When I looked at your Christmas photos of your adorable girls, I thought, “Man, if her blond girls grew up and married my blond boys we’d have a brood of total toe-heads - ha!” As if that is even a remote possibility…

    I never like that game- it takes too long, but it’s a lot better than Candyland. I’m sure they’ll want to play again, so you’ll see if you’re better the next time. Maybe it was a fluke. You’re usually a killer in games without cheating. (at least I don’t notice you cheating!)
