Kids Today

.I was working games (and we all know how much I "love" games ) when these 2 kids came to play. The boy was about 9 or 10 and the little girl was probably 6? It was a medium-prize game and the little boy was FOCUSED. Intent. He was GOING to win. and...he did. Then, he turned to his little sister, handed her the prize and said, "I won this for you!" Her face lit up and she hugged and hugged her shark. Mom & Dad told me that they had gone to ride Primeval Whirl and she was barely too short. She was crushed. While waiting in line, the boy said that he wanted to win her a prize to make her feel better, so that's just what he did. Whoa boy, I'm glad I could blame the waterworks on the splashes from Fossil Fueler!!! I thanked him for being an awesome brother and gave him a shark, too. His face lit up and his parents were thrilled. After all of the selfishness in my house the last month or so, it was SO refreshing and magical to see a truly selfless act. That boy made my day.
