Dominos aren't as cool in practice as they are in video games

When I was young I was really into the character Magus from the video game Chrono Trigger. In part of the game, he appears as a mysterious "prophet" wearing a cool-ass cloak called a "domino". It's basically what the Grim Reaper always wears. So, somehow this lead to me saying I wished I had a domino within earshot of my parents. And that led to me getting a freakin domino for my birthday one year. (No, my parents aren't rich. Rather, it's just that I almost never used to let them know what I wanted, in part because I was a child who had very few material wants, which isn't to say I was spoiled, quite to the contrary. I was just a very "spartan" child.)

Domino's aren't nearly as cool in real life. Ugh. I felt really bad about that because I imagine it cost my parents a fortune.
