A: It was great for me, but dad and my brother Dylan didn't like it so much. That was mostly because they both lost a Monopoly game that mom and dad bought for my 7-year old brother. It's really cool, with an electronic banker and debit cards to use rather than paper money. My brother Dylan was the banker and he loved it, but when he and dad lost all their property to Evan (the 7-year old), they were not impressed. They used all their bargaining tools that they could think of, but Evan the tycoon prevailed and dad and Dylan BOTH went bankrupt. Dad couldn't believe he landed on one property and had to pay Evan $10,000,000. Dad said Evan kept landing on Community Chest EVERY TIME and would NEVER land on dad's property. PLUS, Evan owned a whole quadrant and Dad and Dylan landed on his highest paying properties every time they passed him by. Evan was really excited!!! And they played for over 4 hours!!
Mom kept walking by and rubbing dad's back whenever he'd lose money and kept telling him not to take it personally. But dad couldn't keep his cool after the 5th time he had to pay Evan $5.5M.
So the next time mom tried to rub his back in support, dad pulls away and says, "What have you been doing for 4 hours anyway?" And mom says, "Cleaning up, watching TV, and happy that you're spending time with the kids!!" And dad says, "You mean you're happy that you don't have to feel guilty that you're NOT!!" And mom didn't even give him the time of day, except to smirk at him as if all he could do was lick his wounds and muster every ounce of positive energy within to tell Evan he did a great job!!
Evan totally rocked today. Dad wants a rematch tonight, but Evan said it will take too long. Dad and Dylan aren't happy about that because they want to kick his BUTT!!!
Maybe next time boys. Mr. Trump, we have your apprentice.
Anyway, my Christmas has been good, and I got a really nice present from my friend I :)
