'“We’re having a game night. A family game night. Because that’s what families do.”
“It is?” Vanya asked.
“Since when?” Five said at almost exactly the same time.'
I can't stay away from The Umbrella Academy for long - and neither do I
want to!
There's a popular meme in the fandom of a family games night.
...That's because the idea of
these dysfunctional and emotionally-stunted superheroes attempting to play Monopoly

ReplyDeleteHa, I don't think me and my brother ended up finishing too many games either! (I do remember throwing hotels at him... or was that him throwing hotels at me...? Or was it the houses...? Maybe both!)
