    The gas station I go to had a 3' tall orange m&m man display that she loved. A couple months ago the station decided to raffle it off for Childrens Hospital so when she would go I would give her a couple bucks to buy chances for $1 a piece. She wanted it so bad that when she had a dollar instead of candy she wanted to buy a chance. Thursday she had $2 and wanted to get 2 more chances because they said they were pulling a name soon, by this time she had 15 to 20 chances in there. We walked in and the m&m man was behind the counter and I told her someone must have already won it. The look on her face said it all and I was heart broke for her and the lady working said " I was going to wipe it down and call you, you won him! " Morgan started crying big crocidile tears she was so happy and the ladies were ticled for her because they knew how bad she wanted it. Here is a image of one I found on the computer since I still can't upload pics on my computer.[​IMG]

    What a great story and ending.

    Heck, I wouldn't mind one of those myself.

    Your daugher is one lucky young lady. I'm sure the folks were glad to see it go to someone who is going to appreciate it.

    Maybe Morgan will let 1tireman play with it when he gets his leg repaired. You ARE going to see a doctor---right ?
