Who's the Big Winner?

Secret Agent Man has always loved playing games.

When he turned about 4 I stopped letting him win because he always won anyway.

He still always wins.

Chess, checkers, connect 4, life, candyland, scrabble, operation, any card game, anything.

He always wins.

So it was no surprise what happened when we picked up monopoly a few weeks back.  We had been playing with the kids version and it was just way too easy for a long time.

He played the full version on the kindle and we had played the adult version with friends before as well.

He jumped right in and this happens


Yeah, he is sitting there on the right with virtually all of the properties.  I was obviously soon out and Special Agent Dad only stayed in for about another half hour.  I think he had over $13,000 at the end.

Later that week, we got the new basketball hoop put up in the driveway.  He immediately got to work learning how to dominate this game even though it was quite late when we finished.  




We were on a game streak and decided to play Bingo at the YMCA on family night.  They charge $5 per person for 3 cards each.  All of the money goes to pay for scholarships for kids to play sports and stuff.


We sat down in the room with about 40 other people.  We had played maybe 3 games when Secret Agent Man yells BINGO!
He got this awesome prize!


It didn't end there, he won 4 more times.  Probably about a quarter of the games.

Dominating.

He stopped taking prizes after the second win.  

He stopped calling BINGO after the fourth.  

Secret Agent Man was very gracious in agreeing to this.  

There were several other kids in the room and because he didn't take all of the prizes just about every one of them left with a prize that night during the prize elimination final round.
