Marley and Asher's birthday.

We have 3 birthdays in the month of November with a 4th soon to come. In the spirit of getting it all out of the way at once, we had Marley and Asher's parties on the same day. Marley's party was in the morning at a nearby park. Asher's party began in the afternoon at the mini-golf place. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the day for Asher (and us) was him winning the grand prize on one of the machines in the arcade. The machine has a little light that swirls around and around. You must hit the button when it is right in the middle. Every time someone tries and misses, it adds another ticket to the jackpot. He tried it a few times. With his last remaining token for the day, he hit the jackpot. It was the equivalent of all the nickels falling out of a slot as the tickets poured out and he danced around the little arcade shouting, "I did it! I won! I won! I won!" I never would have tried it. I reckon that those things are never won; that is why there is always a jackpot. I suppose it goes to show that you only win the jackpot if you try for it.
