We went out to dinner tonight and my child got excited when they saw a claw machine game with big prizes inside.

Parents, we all know how these games, especially the big prize claw machines, are rigged against you. I despise these because they often get the kids hyped up for disappointment.

Anyway, after the third time and $3 worth of losses, my child was bummed out and as she was sadly about to walk away because mama was not investing more money 😅

A lady who had been watching (she was playing the slot machine next to us) handed her a $5 bill and said, “try your luck again, honey.”

We thanked her and she said to me, “Mama, I got you! I know how it is.”

Thankful for this kind, generous soul who understood how I and my child felt in that moment.
