Jarod's race was today. He qualified last month in his pack's Pinewood Derby to race in the DISTRICT Pinewood Derby.
Dad did his magic (added some extra weight) and Jarod raced against six other "Wolves." Jarod came in 6th out out of seven. At first, Jarod thought he was in 3rd place based on his heat with another scout. I told him he didn't come 3rd, but 6th. He asked if I he gets to take a trophy home and I flatly told him no. He got sad and wiped tears from his eyes. Then a few moments later he asked if he could have a hotdog.
I don't think Jarod realizes the impact of his placement in the race. I believe the only thing he cared about was taking home a trophy, regardless of his place. He wanted the free toy from the Cracker Jack box.

Vampire by nature. I was born for swing or graveyard shifts. I am not a fan of the sun (as it should be, I have red hair, freckles and fair skin. Not hot, neon white, but pretty close). I like to stay up late and sleep-in. The world is quiet and still at 1 a.m. You can reflect, read a scary book, eat a pint of Haagen Dazs or fall asleep on the comfy couch with the flickering blue light of the telly to keep you company.
