We were at an away meet, and as always, we had our four y.o. son in tow. It was a big gym and they had a small putting green set up for a raffle. For $5 you got three balls, and for every put made, you got a raffle ticket in the bin for the grand prize drawing....a small plastic set of golf clubs that you can buy at the big K for a few dollars.
I gave my son $5 and he ran off in excitement...only to return five minutes later asking for another $5. Twenty bucks later this diversion hadn't even gotten us to the national anthem Fearing that this would quickly jeopardize the family finances, I cut him off and sent him on his way empty handed.
At the awards ceremony they announced the winner of the raffle, and my son had won. He excitedly retrieved his prize to a huge round of applause....Afterwards, as I walked around the gymnasium, dozens of people I had never met before came up to congratulate us and all knew my son by name...... Apparently after he had cleaned out me, my wife and the team parents, he had started working the grandstands
lmaoooo! that is so adorable! you must have been shocked when u realized
