Monopoly Jr.

It is fun to play Monopoly Jr. with Pete.

We don't worry so much about who wins the game, it is more about developing the appropriate cash liquidity in each of our transactions.

Sometimes, Pete likes to get all of the 1's. So, for example, if a property costs 1 dollar, he will give you 2 5's and ask for 9 1's back. Other times, he decides that he prefers the larger denominations. So if something costs 2 dollars, he will give you 6 2's and ask for 2 5's back. Sometimes he puts in 3 or 4 consecutive transaction requests, and I find myself aggressively working to meet his demands while maintaining the integrity of the bank.

Maybe some day Pete will be a banker, or one of those guys who asks for change at the counter and they somehow end up with less money than they had before.

that was funny how he liked to do that. funny too how he was influencing Shayna to do the same. I can totally see him as one of those guys who will get change and manage to walk away with more then he came with. LOL or maybe someday he will be one of those guys on the boardwalk or carnivals who runs the sucker games.
