Chapter 24
Somehow, the topic of the Webers had been avoided during supper, and at the end Charlie had pulled out a board game to play, which Bella had slowly gotten into.
Bella rolled the dice before moving the thimble six spaces to Free Parking.
She scrunched her nose up. "Why don't we play with the Free Parking rule again?" She could use the seven hundred and fifty monopoly cash.
"Because you'd be the only one who'd get anything from it," Peter grumbled.
"There's no such thing as parking in a spot and earning money for it in real life. That's why we don't use that rule." Charlie's voice rumbled as he rolled the dice for his turn.
Bella looked down at the different spaces on the board. "And there's a Community Chest in real life?"
"Don't argue with my logic." Charlie moved the car eight spaces to the Reading Railroad, forking two hundred over to Vasilii.
Vasilii picked up the dice. "Of course there's a Community Chest in real life. It's called the lotto."
"I'd argue that Free Parking is closer to the lottery. Community Chest and Chance are just normal luck," Garrett said, taking the dice after Vasilii moved the hat.
"Community Chest and Chance make the game interesting. Free Parking is just free money and pointless to the play of the game, therefore it isn't part of it. And since I'm the dad, what I say goes, because I say so," Charlie grumbled, sounding harassed and abused.
Bella glanced at her brothers, before they all burst out laughing.
