The Airplane

The Boy and I have a standing agreement: If he behaves while we grocery shop {The most dreaded and loathsome of all shopping experiences} he gets to visit the arcade. 
The Boy LOVES the arcade.
Today after a successful shopping trip, I gave him a few quarters for the claw machine.
That is when he saw this...
YES! One of those Styrofoam airplane glider thing-ees! 
He was SO excited when he spotted it in there - he really, REALLY wanted it.
On his first try he won this:
  Sixth try he won this:
Four quarters later he won this - which turned out to be a lovely set of plastic earrings.
He was not amused.
 AND FINALLY - SEVENTEEN QUARTERS AND  TWENTY MINUTES LATER: 
VICTORY
He was so excited, he shouted "BOOYA SUCKAS!" and did a little dance right there in the arcade.
