Ok, you guys will like this little story. Thanksgiving evening playing the boardgame Monopoly

Locust Fork

As things got late and everyone was thinking about eating desert, but just couldn't imagine eating another bite of food at the cabin on the lake.....we started playing card games. One of the younger people wanted to play Monopoly, but I wasn't really in that mood, so we stuck to card games for a bit.

Finally, they talked us into playing it. Things were going slow because we had a lot of players who bought every piece of property they landed on....so nobody had anything really dangerous to worry about landing on. It was going to take FOREVER to play this game the way things were going. The guy who WANTED to play got tired, he and his wife handed over their property to their friend who was also playing.

This is when things turned. The guy that he gave his property to was a young fella, his girlfriend was playing.....and it was me and my aunt. I tell them "Ohhhh, so we're playing teams now are we?" My aunt is a lot of fun, sells firearms on the wholesale side and spent a good part of her life running a gun store when she was younger. So, between the two of us we are what you would call "seasoned smart@sses" and both of us thought this was going to be a LOT of fun.

The game didn't last an hour before they had to mortgage everything and the guy who had given them his property came into the room and told them "omg....give up, its over....what the heck happened, they aren't even counting their money over there?" Our money was just a big messy pile in front of us.....hotels on everything.

It was hilarious.

Always fun to put the young folks in their place.

One thing I did learn is I do WAY better at card games when I'm dead tired. If I think I'm about to just fall asleep I'll win every hand......but let me be firing on all cylinders and I'm going to rack up some crazy points.

Sounds like you had a fun time

As a kid in the winter time it was all most of the neighborhood kids had to do cards and monopoly we would play for hours

But depending on who was the banker the games would some times end with a lot of name calling but next night back at it nothing else to do I have not played in 50 years at least

I haven't eaten an entire desert in years! Maybe my entire life. Seems dry.
