Easter Memories

I have more than one post in my head and it’s hard to get started but I am going to make the best of this!

I remember when my daughter was about eight years old and we went to this big Easter egg hunt at a local park. We waited for her age group… it seemed to be all day before they had the hunt for the eggs, why do they do that?

She had a great time and found a ton of eggs and was so happy but there was a drawing for 100 dollars and she said she wanted to enter because she was going to win. We all laughed as a family does when this happens and said “Right, you will win…” and we headed for the car. She tugged on my arm so hard I was pulling her by her feet and she kept saying I am going to win. By the time we neared the car I, being the one who gives in, said “If I take you over there will you let it go and stop about the 100 dollars?” So we get over to the table after a long walk back (should have just done it in the first place, My bad) she looks up at me and says see you can fill it out and you don’t even have to wait to see if you win so when I finish you can take us home… *comes to my mind, How thoughtful*

So she fill out the paper and puts it in the box and she is already spending the money before we even got back to the car!? Kids.

We drive home it was the usual candy swap – I hate this kind does anyone want to trade for this kind etc… It’s ok, one becomes numb to the racket and the “give me back my candy” in the back seat! We arrive at the house and I see that she is watching the clock… “The drawing is at five o’clock Dad” Reply, “Cool I hope you do well!” So about five thirty the phone rings and there is a man on the line and he asks for Irene I said hold on please she runs to the phone * hello did I win!!!???* I am thinking you have got to be kidding me.

The nice man said “Yes, you won the one hundred dollar grand prize you can come get it now or pick it up at your convenience.” I knew what had happened by her end of the conversation and the jumping up and down. Irene writes down the address says thank you, hangs up the phone turns and says… “Can we go now I told you I was going to win geeeze Dad you have to believe it… I will find your keys… Got ’em can we go now? How about now?”

You think I am kidding, we got in the car and then she asks “How long does it take to get there!?” Only out of the mouth of an eight year old!

Have a great Tuesday!
