The Sunchild thoroughly thrashed me at Monopoly yesterday. He took risks while I played it safe, and with 4 Cities on each of his orange properties, he bankrupted me completely. He was counting all of the financial transactions himself, although I did have to help him a bit with the 10% tax, but I think he was beginning to grasp the idea.

The interesting thing about our day of Monopoly, is that after the first time I landed on a property of his that had an enormous rent of $750, he was appalled at how broke it made me, and tried to give me back my money. I insisted on playing by the rules. He really did not want to win, and got rather sad at the end of the game. He told me this morning that he thought it was unfair that I had to come up with such a high rent all of a sudden. His aim, of course, at building up one color so much was to get a Millenium Falcon piece for his property... not to charge extreme rent.

I thought that this showed his understanding of fairness in trade. He did not want to be a 'price-gouger' LOL.
