Mom: Great news!
We still have the Snakes ‘n Ladders board game with the kids who do bad things and get punished or who do good things and get rewarded.
Also: We still have Mystery Game!!!
Also, we have a Bert & Ernie puzzle as well as 2 Madeline puzzles!!
Hurray!!

Me: Is this your way of putting a positive spin on having thrown out the rest of our childhood games and puzzles?
