A super quick trip to the grocery store and we get episode 5 :)
Korver and I make a quick trip to our local Smith's store tonight and knowing that Korver absolutely LOVES "Crane Games" I grabbed a couple quarters out of my truck to throw in the machine on the way out of the store.
We get a few items and checkout and head to the exit where the crane game is sitting. I have never before seen anyone using this particular crane game before but it happens (like always) that I end up having to wait in line to give Korver a big smile. We watched the lady burn through several quarters not getting anything before I realize that she is trying to hook a "Mitt Romney Plush Toy" (kinda weird thing to have in a kids crane game). She turns and apologizes for taking so long but apparently she just HAD to have this for her dad.
Korver is getting pretty restless so I pick him up and say softly to him: "Hold on buddy, she has to get her stupid toy first"...... moments later Korver watches the crane drop (with no catch) to which Korver yells out: "Did ya get your stupid Toy?" Needless to say my face went a little red (like always) and she finally gave up to go cash out some bills to get more quarters... we hurried and spent our .50 cents (with no win) and exited the store.
This just goes to show that if you really want something important to get out to everyone, tell your kids!!! It's moments like this that I LOVE being a parent.
