Ever play a game and try to claim your prize? I got into it with the guy running the frog jump game because he changed the rules (after I had won) and wouldn't give me my prize. I really wouldn't have cared, but it was a toy my son wanted (he was 3 or 4 at the time). I'm still bitter!Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15260987219988824912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-68690485567565008782011-03-03T12:02:13.061-08:002011-03-03T12:02:13.061-08:00what a great story and so sorry your childhood dre...what a great story and so sorry your childhood dream of seeing the world's fattest man did not pan outRebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10213055916162799647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-78616003665546352082011-03-03T11:57:29.297-08:002011-03-03T11:57:29.297-08:00I'm still laughing at Fat Karl's uncle Bud...I'm still laughing at Fat Karl's uncle Buddy in the kiddie pool.
