FYI: there is a board-game called Redneck Life which is tragic, inappropriate and hysterical. My family loves it. All the players start with no money. You roll 2 dice to determine the highest grade that you completed in school. All the players go into debt and have to try to work their way out of it. You end up losing a bunch of teeth, getting married, divorced, remarried and inherit a bunch of step kids who are all named Darryl. The winner of the game is the one with the most teeth remaining at the end. If you have extra cash at the end you can buy back teeth and if you’re still in debt at the end, you lose a tooth for each $100 that you’re in the hole.

Oh my gosh this episode! 😂😂😂 I love it! So much nostalgia! I was definitely a Barbie girl, I wanted the Jeep sooo bad, but my parents wouldn’t let me have it. I think the 90’s were great because they had just the right amount of all the “good” things, but none of the “bad” things. Internet, but no social media (unless you count chat rooms). Cellphones, but no touchscreen smart phones. I could go on, and on. It was such a great time. ❤

I was an avid monopoly board collector when I was younger. (Definitely not a mint condition guy. I played with all of them a lot) I remember the switch to electric banking over cash in monopoly. It was a traumatic childhood experience. I had a first edition that had the visa logo, and a later board that had a bold type DEBIT CARD printed on the cards. Also not relevant to the topic but still a treasured possession. My aunt was stationed in Seoul South Korea with the Army when I was a collector. So I have a monopoly board based on USA locations that's entirely written in Korean.

I wanted the pink power wheels Barbie Jeep desperately. My mom said no because Santa couldn't fit it on the sleigh. The real reason was that my sister who was 2 years older would not be able to fit in it. Also, they didn't want to have to buy 2 of them.

LOVED this episode!!! I would say the game I LOVED as a kid was POGS. I collected as many of them as I could, especially since you could get them inside of bags of chips. The millennial nostalgia is so real. I impulse bought a bag of marbles recently, but ended up using it in a lesson with my students, so it worked out.
