We arrive in Panama City before catching the puddle jumper to the lodge the next morning. My adoptive dad says he wants to show me something and maybe teach me a lesson. We walk into the casino and he lays 500 dollars down. Two seconds later he says, come on, let's go. I was like what happened? He replies, I lost.
