Jacob

Jacob loves the game Monopoly. I do not like the game Monopoly.
This is how every game starts: Jacob, Jack, Amelia and I start the game. Eventually Jack and Amelia quit because the game takes soooooooo long. I want to quit because the game takes soooooooo long but can't because I am the mom and must keep playing with Jacob. Usually after a couple of hours we take a break. The break lasts until the next day. The game stays as is until we come back to it because we always have to come back to it. Jacob  will patiently and methodically play until the bitter end; which is usually me "losing" somehow.
I swear that kid is the most patient, persistent kid I know. He will mortgage properties. Stay in Jail for about 20 turns in order to collect rent but not pay any. Build up up houses into hotels, the whole nine yards.
I think I am going to get him the personalized Monopoly game for Christmas next year. I might as well land on Heidi Ave if I have to play it.
