So we are at Red Robin the other night with the kids. We had put our name on the waiting list and attempted to entertain the kids with the 3 choices of video games.. A racecar one, a crane machine and some sort of ball up the mountain game. If you won that one, they gave you a piece of candy... All without putting one quarter in any of these machines, the kids seemed to be happy. The kids noticed a left over prize in the candy one. They were excited to find such a treasure.. They pulled it out and attempted to eat it. The prize door slammed shut and out falls yet another piece of candy. Sweet I thought. We kept opening and closing this contraption many times. Each time a brightly colored cavity making ball fell. After they ate one and put about 6 in my purse, we looked for someone to share our new discovery with. Other kids came over and sure enough I said.. Hey watch this... They looked curious and excited as we were. After gathering their loot... they went to their dad and said hey look..
His words were to his kids... " So you are stealing candy?"..
I then felt really stupid that I had taught not only my own kids this trick, but shared it with some unsuspecting theives.
Did I just really teach them to steal? Wasnt it a malfunction.. Doesnt that count as an accident?
or luck?
Just found the balls rolling around in my purse and enjoying one now.. A hard outer shell and soft powder substance inside. All but one ended up in the trash. My kids must of forgotten about them. I hope I don't choke on the yellow ball of sourness :)

LOL! This is so funny Cori! And just for the record, I probably would have done the same thing. Then, like the dad in your story, Greg would have corrected me and made me feel bad. hahaha!!
That is hilarious Cori...thanks I needed a good chuckle today!
We ate at the red robin today and I would start giggle every time I thought about you stealing the gumballs and getting caught!
I knew eventually those boys would be convicts .. hahah seriously tell that Dad to zip it.. Give me a break 2 little boys found 5 gum balls in the machine. WOW,If it was me I would have been sitting on the floor opening and closing it a millions times filling up the botttom of my purse for sacrament. THEN, when I got there I would give them to Case so he can throw them across the chapel..hahahahh.. enjoy your boys... let them be little..
