My sixth graders were asking me what kind of games I played when I was a kid. I told them that we played a lot of board games.
“Like what?” astounded there would be such a coincidence as that.
“Well, I guess you could say I played Monopoly with my older sister, Bonnie.”
“You guessed you played? What do you mean?” That was a murky answer.
“My sister was a notorious cheater.”
“She was?”
“Oh, terrible! She would, for instance, claim that she could collect $400 when she passed ‘GO’ because she was older.”
Then Keegan (not his real name) said one of those gems that only kids can come up with: “At least if you’re gonna cheat you should be fair about it.”
Truer words were never spoken.
Reminds me of Art Linkletter's show where he had kids....wasn't it billed Kids say the darndest things? or something like that.....very cool story!
