LIFE: Game vs Reality

After playing the game of LIFE one afternoon ...

Amanda: Mom, guess what?

Me: What?

Amanda: I went through the entire game without getting married OR having children.

Me: Congratulations?

Amanda: No! I wanted to get married and have children.

Me: Why?

Amanda: Because you get PAID when you have children.

Me: You do? How much?

Amanda: $5,000 for each kid!

Me: Wow. Now that's incentive. Of course I never got paid for having you.

Amanda: Mom, this game is better than real life.

Me: Obviously.
