Sunday night we played Monopoly with my dad. About the time that everyone was getting hotels he asked me, "Are you going to be really sad when you have to sell your hotels to pay my rent?" in a joking voice.
I replied, "Are you sure it won't be the other way around?"
About 2 turns later, he landed on my property and had to sell one of his hotels to pay rent. He had $5 left. I couldn't help but giggle for a couple minutes. Then I remembered a verse from Proverbs:
Then of course, I soon started losing all my money and he won, even though I was the last one with him in the game.
The moral of the story: don't be happy even when it's not your enemy that's stumbling.

Do not rejoice when your enemy falls (not that he's my enemy) and do not let your heart be glad when he stumbles; Lest the Lord see it and it displease Him, and He turn away His wrath from him. Proverbs 24:17-18
Then of course, I soon started losing all my money and he won, even though I was the last one with him in the game.

You have a very generous attitude, Kaitlyn. Your kindness is a virtue. By the way, are you going to add your baby brother to the title of your blog somehow?
