thanksgiving weekend - part 4
A Very Kenny Thanksgiving - Part 4: Deja-Adam
Kenny and his holiday Sunday posse.
A little pickle cutting before nap time.
On Sunday, Amy was busy teaching a music lesson, so Adam came over solo to hang out with us. We went out to lunch and then came back so Kenny could nap. During said nap, Adam and I reignited our long-standing Monopoly rivalry. You see, back in high school (and even college), Adam and I would partake in marathon matches of Monopoly, Scrabble or Trivial Pursuit. Unlike the games I played in my youth with my brother, these rarely involved fisticuffs, but there was usually plenty of swearing.
Is this the face of a boy ready for a nap? Yeah, he wasn't really buying it either. But he went to bed, so chalk one up for Team Parents.
This time around, we played my NHL Monopoly that Overboard generally refuses to touch. It's not that she has anything against NHL Monopoly, or board games in particular - actually, it's quite the opposite - it's more that she just doesn't want to play them with me. [insert editorial "sigh" here]. I have tried to point out that the gift is from her sister, but this has not generated any sympathy. Which makes me wonder if maybe there's more to this and I need to be asking someone about it. But I digress.
Adam wanted to take a lunch break, so we documented the status of the board to discourage "creative money/property management."
Unfortunately for the home team, Adam won both games, but I have vowed revenge for the next time he's in town. Worst comes to worst, I'll invoke my brother's notorious bank embezzlement techniques. Or maybe I'll just ask the feds for a couple billion in bailout money. Either way.
Evenkeel carries no grudges. Just a shiv in his left hand that has been conveniently cropped out of this photo.*

So, until next Thanksgiving, Kenny wants all of you to keep your pants dry and your cooked poultry moist.
*I kid!
