We set up the Board and I proceeded to give Tate a lesson on the importance of making good choices in "life." Such as choosing to go to college at the beginning of the game. I explained how it takes a little longer but in the long run you can make more money and have better success in the game. He choose to go to college and I gave myself a nice pat on the back for helping my child make a good choice.
Little did I know that they have added a little something new to the game of life. Tate landed on a "spin to win" tile. I had to refer to the instruction to find out what that was exactly. Well its like heading out to wendover for the weekend. You pick a number and put money down up to $50,000 and then spin. If the spinner lands on your number the bank pays out 10 times what your "investment" was.
This is the part in the game where I explain to Tate about how you can lose everything that you put down just for the "small" chance that you would actually win. I tried to teach him about smart money choices. After my little talk I ask Tate what he would like to do.
"$50,000 on #1" Tate replies. He spins, it lands on 1. He makes $500,000. Thanks game of life.

lol... That's hilarious! At least you gave it a good effort, right?
And a gambler is born! ;)
Ha ha! Nice.
And the tree climbing is great. Don't you love how literal kids are?
Ben would've won the money too. I hate playing games with him because he always wins...maybe he and Tate should get together for a rousing game of Life.
