Life Is Funny: Poor Teddy

By MAD21

My girls were busy playing the other day. It was the kind of fun day when the kids are really getting along and your living room looks like a giant toy box. I was working around the house and at some point I saw our poor Teddy. I'm sure it was part of the play at some point, but then she was forgotten.

I think to myself... ever have one of those days? I guess it's good that it wasn't a house!

My friend and fellow blogger Wendy at Weight..What? has a fun carnival at her blog called "Life is Funny." Every Monday we talk about something in life that we find funny. Be sure to go visit her blog to read her post along with links to other blogs who are participating.

They loved me there because I actually didn't like playing the games, therefore I paid more attention to my job (as if there was anything to do anyway except unjam the machines and give out change).

On one particular day, it was really slow. Some friends had come to visit and were all playing around. I was standing by the 'claw machine,' you know, the big machine where you move the claw in hopes it will land on something, hold it long enough to then drop it into a shoot where you can retrieve it.  Knowing first hand how things in this machine are crammed in specifically so people can't get anything, I had never once even tried it. Big money waste.
