Cole hit the campaign trail yesterday with Jennifer Flanagan, the newly elected Massachusetts State Senator! He knows more important people than we do. Here he is with Jen during a final push at the polling centers yesterday. . .
Pops worked for Jen's campaign and can add another win under his belt! (He's quite the catch to have on your campaign and has helped a few other elected officials with their campaigns as well.) Check out her website at http://www.jenflanagan.com/.
Today, we went to the Massachusetts State Lottery Commission. I'll give you the short story. A friend of my grandmother's asked my dad to take her to collect on a winning scratch ticket. Apparently, if you win over $600 but under $50,000 you need to go to their office - an hour away. My dad agreed and Cole and I went for the ride.
It's a safe assumption, and alright for me to tell you that this family friend is a senior citizen. I mean, senior citizen. I needed to help her fill out her paperwork and get her things in order before getting in line at the Commission. I helped her out and then took Cole to get some pictures. It's not everyday my baby is in the Lottery Commission office. . .and I thought it'd be funny to show you.
Cole and I are taking pictures. . .when we hear the man behind the counter say. . ."And what makes you think this is a winning ticket, ma'am?" No way. Ended up she didn't scratch the entire number and somehow mistook a 10 for an 8. . .and dragged my dad, Cole and I on a two hour ride with no pot of gold at the end.
Making matters worse, I got yelled at for taking pictures in the Lottery Commission! Like I was supposed to know that's a no - no. Still got one though. . . hee hee.
Funnier still. . .this picture was taken at the exact time the man in the bottom left corner of the picture is telling the orange-tinted haired woman that her ticket isn't a winner. My dad is actually grimacing in disbelief. . .not really smiling as you might expect.
But I suppose it was worth the picture. . .
