Childhood Games

I was in the mall with my son not too long ago when we passed by a game store. Thinking it was a toy store, my son asked if we could go in. We were just browsing around the mall so I said we could go inside. Once inside I started looking at all the board games and was seeing all the games my sister and I used to play when we were kids. Needless to say, it brought back a lot of fun memories. I decided to buy Monopoly so we could play at home. My sister and I used to set it up on our card table and play one game for weeks! We would run out of money and have to keep track on a notepad. When my son and I opened the game, a flood of memories came back. I had to have the "dog" as my game piece as that is what I always had as a child. All my son wanted to know was how to get a hotel on his property. (Hopefully a sign of the future!) Anyhow, we played for a while until it was bed time and now the game is sitting on the table "to be continued". We are having a lot of fun playing and it is pretty cool to be playing the same games with my son that I used to play with my sister. Teresa
