When was 8 years old I asked for Monopoly for Christmas. My mother had misgivings. She thought I was too young to play the game. I am not certain whether she knew that I had played Monopoly before.
We had Christmas at my Aunt Mae's house. I brought the game with me. I remember my Mom and her sister exchanging looks... they did not think that I was up to it... as I took the board out of the box and set it up...clearly I knew what I was doing.
We played Monopoly. They did not doubt me after that.
this is one of many nice memories of my Aunt Mamie, who was a kind woman.
