(When you are done here, come see my post at The Women's Colony. Mrs. G. is my hero!)
My niece, Sara, posted about finding a Ulysses S. Grant stuffed doll in one of those toy crane machines. When I shared the awesome coolness of this concept with Husband-Styro, he looked at me and said, "You don't have enough going on in your life, do you?"
"That would be totally amazing! I would be all over that machine trying to win that thing. You can't tell me that wasn't cool!"
"Are you kidding?" he replied. "You'd spend all day at that machine! You'd drop fifty bucks and probably empty the game trying to get a Ulysses S. Grant doll!"
"The problem is, "I began to strategize, "it's possible to play that game and not win anything. I know! I'd wait by the machine until the guy who owns it came to collect the cash, then just offer him ten bucks for the Ulysses. S. Grant doll!"
Then Husband started going on and on about opportunity cost, sitting for days by the machine, personal hygiene issues, blah, blah, blah. I missed it all in a haze of planning how to get to Tennessee.
Sara would've probably figured it out before I got there.
