The Vesely family has many fabulous genes that have passed from one generation to the next. My favorite just happens to be an innate ability to defeat those carnival claw machines that are now found in just about every restaurant and discount store in town. They may be filled with jinky stuffed animals, but they seem like fantastic treasures to little kids looking through the glass. Who doesn't want a kung-fu chipmunk or Brian from Family Guy dressed in a banana suit?
At our Saturday afternoon lunch at Old Chicago, Colby won both a stuffed monster truck and a frog on only 2 tries of the claw machine each. The prizes are hardly worth the $2 spent to win them, but the girls have been carrying them around like precious cargo.
I can only hope that this gift is passed down to my children so that they too can win stuffed Hannah Montana boots and knock-off Care Bears for their offspring.

In the next week, I plan to say the phrase "knock-off Care Bears" at least once a day.
