Monopoly

There’s been quite a bit of Monopoly happening recently at our house. Mr. TOF loves Monopoly, and he’s always begging people to sit down for a lengthy board game with him. Usually he can convince about 2/3 of the family to join in. He puts up notices all around the house about when the next game will be taking place. Some of the notices even hang from the ceiling in high traffic corridors. He has even created statistics charts about who has won what match, and everything is documented in the form of baseball statistics.

I’m not such a big fan of board games, especially with my kids. They drive me a bit buggy when we sit down to play a board game. I do like Scrabble a lot, though, and I convinced The Banana and the Devious Snail to play with me. It didn’t go well, though. I ended up beating their pants off, and they ended up insanely grumpy at each other and irritated with me. I think I’ll stick with reading to pass the time.
