My kids want to buy and sell gold
Yesterday I caught my children playing investors. At first I thought that was a shopping game as I saw them outside in the garden exchanging some fake money and selling something that looked like parcels. Then I saw them hide the parcels in large cardboard boxes they were trying to lock. Well, I went outside and asked them what kind of game that was. My daughter explained to me that her brother was and investor and he was trying to sell gold to her. She had just bought some and put it in her safe. I was really surprised because my children don"t watch TV very often. Nobody in our family is an investor or owns large amounts of gold. On the next morning, we visited our neighbours. They have two kids who are slightly older than ours. The first thing I heard was Do you want to play investors again? I knew immediately where my children learned how to sell gold. I have mixed feelings, to be honest. On one hand, I want my children to learn money management, but on the other, why let them play games that involve a lot of cheating and treating money as if it was the most important thing in the world? I"ll have to think about that more carefully. Fortunately, they"re starting their first year at school in September. Maybe there they"ll learn to play some new games.
