Email to my dad :)

The following is a true story. It has been made a little more epic than was really necessary due to my incredible boredom this morning. Enjoy :)


Dear Pappa Bear,

I would like to thank you for raising me not to be a quitter. Last night I walked with Haley and Aricka (the girl across the hall) to the village because we wanted to get ice cream. After selecting my Starbucks JavaChip Frappacino I patiently waited in line to pay for my goods at the Village Pantry. While at the register I had the bright idea to be like my father and buy some lottery tickets. I bought a $1 "Hit 50". I walked outside and realized I had no coins to scratch this ticket off. Aricka, being the kind girl she is let me borrow her lucky quarter. I proceeded to scratch off my ticket and won a dollar. I went back in to the classy VP and cashed in my $2 winner that was still in my wristlet and my new $1 winner and bought 3 more Hit 50s. I used Aricka's lucky quarter which proved itself again and won $4 ( $2 on two different tickets). So what do I do?! Of course, buy more! I bought 4 tickets and only won $1. I switched to a Christmas style game and bought one more scratch off. Yet again using Aricka's lucky quarter I scratched off what I knew would be my last lottery ticket of the night and guess what happened? I WON $15!!!!!

I know you are really impressed but let me make things a little more direct to sum this all up. I bought 9 lottery tickets and won on 5 of them with a total profit of $12 after my $3 investment. Which in turn paid for my ice cream which was $5. I got paid $7 to walk to the Village Pantry. :)

Love you lots, Baby Bear<3
