Brought to You by the Letter "R"

Yesterday, we were out running errands and had to stop by Wal-Mart. Addison loves the big game room in the front of the store, so she ran in clutching her 2 quarters ready to win a prize. After considering the Bert and Ernie Firetruck ride, she decided to use her money in The Claw game. Thankfully it wasn't the big machine with stuffed animals, where you almost never win. She chose the small game where you can win tons of little trinkets or candy. She is in it for the candy! Anyway, after an unsuccessful first round, she inserted her second quarter and came up with a prize. A one inch plastic letter "R"? What??? Never mind the fact that it is useless, makes no sense, and she doesn't know her letters. She was happy. Apparently whoever fills the machine realizes that small children are easy to please and doesn't invest much in his prizes. Tommy and I laughed about it the rest of the day, and in true Sesame Street form, deemed the day, "brought to you by the letter "R".
