that's life i guess

tonight we played "the game of life". i just got it the other day to play with the girls. it was so funny. i almost had no kids but then lucked out with twins on the LAST option for kids. paul had 5 kids. and poor older didn't get ANY kids. and she was a teacher so she made $40,000 a payday and then younger was a lawyer and got $90,000 a payday and had 3 kids. so when it was time to "buy houses" older picked the double wide trailer because she was being a sour puss and later in the game when younger bought the mansion i just couldn't hold my laugh in anymore. finally i was laughing so hard and just said "you're a teacher that lives in a double wide trailer, and your little sister is a lawyer that lives in a mansion!" it was like "man this IS the game of life." it's so true to reality. and when she didn't get to have any kids she was totally mad for the rest of the game...so basically the rest of her life. it was so realistic it wasn't funny!!! we decided there should be an "adopt a kid" card for $20,000 and then when you pick the card it tells you what country you adopted from. *sigh* if only it were that easy. i tried to convince her that maybe she just made an awesome foster mom.
