The Prize Counter

I set our tall accordion stack of red tickets right onto the smooth glass counter, keeping Bear snuggled safe in the crook of my elbow. Behind the glass, neat rows of shiny whistles, bouncy balls, and fruit candy boxes were waiting under the bright overhead lights. On the top shelf sat a big, smiling plush friend with soft grey fur. Using both hands, I nudged the thick paper stack forward so the numbers were easy to see. When the tickets were counted, I picked out the big plush friend and two grape lollipops. I tucked the sweets safely into my bib pocket, holding our new friend close so Bear could say hello. #Mybuddydoll #ryder #ChuckE.Cheese #dollhobby #dollcommunity
