$31

Net winnings from 10 scratch tickets purchased during my “lucky” oldest grandchild’s overnight visit. It would have been $34 if I’d stopped after the first 5. We split it, he promised to save his share, and I wonder if he will.


Naturally, the pressure will be on next weekend when his sister comes to visit. If we don’t have the same luck, I wonder how many times I’ll hear “It’s not F-A-I-R!!”
True enough, little girl, and that’s life, in a nutshell.
