Though you’ve never had a really successful experience with the game, you can still introduce it to your kid. :) But you lost again. He-he. At least you’re okay with it now, and you’ve discovered his potential in money management. :) Play another set so you’ll know it’s not just beginner’s luck. ;D<br /><br /><a href="http://www.thegamesupply.com/mahjong-sets" rel="nofollow">Esmeralda Tabarez</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127874744551484190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-27250054479104369342011-11-25T10:47:48.299-07:002011-11-25T10:47:48.299-07:00I always lose at Monopoly, and like many of the co...I always lose at Monopoly, and like many of the commenters above, I don't have the patience for it. <br /><br />Great post!Kate Courseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00800553702363940973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-27518479460151074492011-11-16T10:49:01.594-07:002011-11-16T10:49:01.594-07:00I don't have the patience for Monopoly, althou...I don't have the patience for Monopoly, although my 11 year old loves it.

I always lose.<br />Like you, I hope me and my game piece win big someday. I'm the top hat. In the computerized version of the game a bunny jumps out of the hat when I do well.
