I overheard our nine playing Monopoly with his friends this weekend.
Henceforth this board marker will be known as "The Wastebasket."
@Damobius I never thought about it but it totally does look like a waste basket. Children these days have no idea what thimbles are.
@FreyaMeansLady I didn't have the heart, or I guess the right, to "correct" them.
And you're right, it DOES look like a wastebasket.
@Damobius kids have a different viewpoint. Once upon a time we were slack line walking in the park and a gentleman with two sons came up and asked if his kids could play. Before anyone could explain to the kids that you shouldn't walk a slack line with shoes on he had done it, successfully. I've always been amused by that!
@FreyaMeansLady yep. Everything's impossible until you ask a kid to do it 😄😄
