Ancient Chinese Fun

Good Hand

I once played Monopoly by myself because, as an only child, I didn't have any siblings to play with me.

I don't point this out because I wanted siblings but because I turned into an adult that doesn't like playing games. Years ago, I was forced to play a game of Trivial Pursuit Pop Culture Edition with three Irish siblings, one American and the Irish sister's very drunk Scottish boyfriend.

Ok. We were all very drunk. But I was sober enough to make sure that the Scottish boyfriend saw the answer side of the card to every question I asked him. It being the Pop Culture edition of the game and that edition being solely American culture, he didn't have a chance in hell of getting anything right. But with my help and often a finger marking the line of the correct answer, the game was over in, like, 20 minutes. And everyone else was too drunk to consider how odd that was.

I cheat so the torture will end. So you can imagine my surprise when my mother taught us how to play Mahjong today and I liked it. Didn't cheat at all.

Incidently, I won the Monopoly game. And I lost.
