Meet Harold
Harold’s backstory: Walking along the boardwalk at Point Pleasant Beach, Gregory spied one of those spin-the-wheel games. Grand prize: Harold. So Gregory says, “Mommy can I? Please?”
Mamarazzi says (because mamarazzis have a general distaste for throwing hard-earned money in trash cans), “No. You won’t win.” We continue to walk, hand-in-hand. It’s Gregory’s birthday on Tuesday, so our little trip to Point Pleasant is all about doing whatever Gregory wants to do. Mamarazzi looks down at her sweet little lifetime model, and says, “What would you like to do next?”
“I want to play that spinny game.”
After several rounds of “You won’t win” and “What would you like to do next” and “I want to play the spinny game,” Mamarazzi gives in.
Three squares for $5. There are at least 50 squares. Gregory picks his three squares very carefully. If the Wheel of Fortune should land on one of his squares, he would win the big prize.
“Vanna” spins the wheel.
We wait. And wait. And wait. (That wheel spins forever!) Gregory WINS!
Mamarazzi’s punishment, according to Gregory: “Say ‘I was wrong and you were right’ three times.”
“I was wrong. I was wrong. I was wrong. You were right. You were right. You were right.”
Best five bucs I ever spent. You should have seen Gregory’s smile.
Welcome to the family, Harold.
i love you mom and my webkinz!
HAROLD IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
