We Have a WINNER!

This is the first time Everett ever noticed the games at the carnival. He saw kids walking around with giant prizes and wanted one, too. He chose a duck pond game that had inflatable characters as prizes. He won a small prize and the girl showed him what he could choose from. He said, "I want that" and pointed to a giant lime green alien. Now, if you know me, you know how I feel about aliens. But what could I do? The boy wanted that alien. The girl running the game offered it to us for a couple bucks more and ding, ding, ding, we had a winner! The alien has now joined our family. Everett made it go to the potty and wash its hands this morning, but mostly it is a wrestling partner. Dada and Everett also played the squirting water race. Dada won and afterwards, secretly confessed he has never lost. How lucky for me that my husband's secret power is squirting a water gun into the mouth of a clown.
