It must've been a 5th grade thing. My brother (in the 5th grade also [held
back because of an illness] ) and I spent a year having fun practicing and
getting quite proficient. We were darned proud of ourselves. This is what
happens when there is no TV; other things rattle thy brains. Monopoly was a
every-day summer event for us.
