261...262...263...264...265...266...267...268...269...270...271...Okay, so it wasn't Hawaii, or jellybeans for that matter, but I did try to guess the number of candies in the jar at the book fair at our library.
Children's Librarian:" So you going to try?"
Me:" Yeah, I might as well, I've never won anything before in my life. You can always try! What have people been guessing at?"
C.L.:"I've heard a lot of sixties, I don't even know what's in there, I just dumped them in."
Me:*Counts for a moment* "Looks like more than that to me, I'll try...78."
Fast-forward to lunch today. Phone rings. I answer.
Me:"Hello?" (with my best british accent:-)
Library:" Hi Lydia? This is the Public Library, I just wanted to let you know you won our guess the number of candies in the jar game at the book fair!"
Me: *Faint*
Okay, so I didn't faint, but I laughed pretty hard and was sort-of dazed for a sec. it's not that big of a deal, but when you've never won anything your entire life, it's pretty fun. Actually I didn't guess it on the number, but I was the closest without going over.
I thought it was fun:-)
Congratulations, Lydia! That's fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kristi! I think it's fun too!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you win?
ReplyDeleteDO you get to keep the candy?
ReplyDeleteNo I didn't get the candy. The boys would have appreitated that more that the cookbook I picked out as my prize.
ReplyDelete"100 of the best chicken recipes" is what I got Erica.
Lydia
I won something for the first time in my life too! Strangley enough also at a library. Mine was easier though. read a 200 pages get to put a slip into a box to be drawn for. It's even easier if you but them on the top. :)
