Adam's upside-down self-portrait on the way home that dayIt happens.
We were at the store grabbing some milk, and I told the kids they could pick out a frozen pizza to share.
(Yes, I'm totally earning the 'Mother of the Year' award here).
Adam's been saving his money and looking for extra opportunities to earn money lately, because he wants to buy some Star Wars gun. So, when he saw a pizza that advertised a contest to win cash, that was the one he chose.
The whole way home, I told him over and over that there are just a few prizes and SO many people who enter, and even though I hoped he won, he probably wouldn't.
And the whole way home, he hugged the pizza box, and told me that he KNEW he won.
When we got home, I popped the pizza in the oven, and he entered in his code online. And, guess what?
HE WON $10!
He's SO excited and very much gloating about the fact that he was right and I was wrong. He has been checking the mailbox daily, waiting for his $10 so that he can buy the gun. Today, however, we got an email about the contest. It said:
You have been selected as the winner of $10 Cash!
Please see the Official Rules
for further prize details and eligibility requirements.
Your win has been recorded and
is subject to verification. Once we have verified your
eligibility, you will receive your prize
8-10 weeks after promotion conclusion. It will be
sent to the address you provided.
The promotion ends on February 10, 2010.
So, according to this, Adam should get his money next year. IN MAY 2010.
What kind of contest does that?
We thought it would be really unfair to make him wait A YEAR, so we gave him the money. And in a year, we will be reimbursed.
Totino's pizza is totally lame.

Oh, my heck! What a rip off! But, you were so sweet to "loan" it to him. Man, you all will forget by then! Is this a Totinos Plot?
what a range of emotions when reading...total understanding(cause i have bought store pizza before- we ate one last night), humored that he wanted to buy it for the money, then i could relate cause i try to explain stuff to JJ and of course he ALWAYS is right and knows more than me, then i was shocked he won, then overall, bummed that he doesn't get it right away. That is soo dumb! But just think, in a year, you will be $10 richer! :)
