Could You Use Some Free Parking?

Look for the win/win!
So, I’m playing Monopoly with my daughter last night. She thinks the shoe is the best token when everyone knows it’s the car. We’re playing a version of the game where all taxes go under the Free Parking space and are won by anyone landing on the spot. The pot rose to over $1500 and the object of the game shifted from purchasing properties to being the first to land on the Free Parking space. I was down to my last $6, just visiting in jail, and needed to roll a 10. I rolled a 3 – Craps! Now it’s her turn. She’s on Electric Company and needs the magic 8… Cha-Ching! – A 5 on one die and a 3 on the other. With no buildings yet on the board, she could have purchased several hotels and likely won the game very easily. With a quizzical look on my face I asked her why she wasn’t doing that. Her answer - “I just like playing with you, Daddy.”
Look for the win/win.
Tip: Make 2011 the year you win by helping others win!
