A couple of weeks ago Lesley created a contest and the prize was a cute candy jar filled with bubble gum, and it reminded me of a promotion we encountered in England when we were on our mission.
(having an understanding of British humour will help)
We bought "Tango" drinks in a 6 pack and our favorite flavour was blackcurrant. Well.... the instructions on the front of the packaging said,"Rip open your Tango 6 pack and scour the innards for a winning coupon printed on the inside. If it's there, Yell,Roar,Shout, run to the hills and back, then exchange it for a free 6-pack of apple, lemon, or orange Tango"
Well I followed instructions, I did not find the coupon, in stead I found this:
"Commiserations.....Not all the laughter of all the children, nor the singing of all the birds, nor the playfulness of all the small animals in all the fields can bring one ray of comfort to the desolation that is in your heart. We can't all be winners, and you have not won today. We will now leave you to deal with this loss in your own way."
That is how I felt when I again did NOT win, in Lesley's contest.
I am dealing with it.

LOL. I will soon organize another contest and I'll pray fervently that you will win.
Mom, you are making me laugh out loud right now! :-D
I WON LESLEY'S CONTEST! So, I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Ah well....of to chew some gum and blow some bubbles.
Although, I know you dislike when people gloat.
Still off to chew gum and blow bubbles.
Poor grandma!! You are a winner in my mind!
I remember you sharing this with Jeremy + me before we went to England. I love the Brits sense of humor!!!!!!!!
