Julieanne and I went to Fish Lake this weekend and had a great time. My little cousins were playing monopoly on the floor of the cabin when we arrived, and they invited us to join them. Things were going great until Riley wouldn't sell Marvin Gardens to Julieanne. She asked nice at first, but I could tell she was starting to get really angry. Before I could stop her, she flipped the board over in a fit of rage and held Riley down, asking how much he wanted to breathe. He cried, and said she could have the property. But all the little kids had already run away and the game was over.

I asked why she hurt my cousin, and she replied "The yellow properties are my favorite. You know that."
She felt bad later that night and for the rest of the vacation, she tried to give Riley chocolates out of her treat bag. Riley wouldn't go near her.
