I Could Not Be Mean


I often send folks scratch tickets, especially the kids.  They are inexpensive and easy to mail and if someone hit it big then I would truly be happy.  While at the dollar store I saw that they had joke scratch tickets.  I thought it would be funny - specifically with my nieces and nephews.  The real tickets that I send them are different looking to them since they are from California so I did not think they would realize the tickets were fake.  I bought them and left the store chuckling to myself.  Once home I had second thoughts that perhaps that was not a funny joke but a mean one so I told my sister what I was plotting - SHE WAS HORRIFIED.  She really gave it to me.  "Don't do that!"  "That is so mean and cruel!"  "They will not think it is funny."  OMG I felt like a turd and all I did at this point was buy the tickets and consider sending them but now I felt totally awful.  End of the day I decided it would not be a funny joke and that I would not send them.  I need to be nice to the kids as one day I am going to need someone to change my diapers LOL.  Long story short - if you do receive a lottery ticket in the mail from me rest assured that is a true and actually California State Lottery ticket and not a fake one like the ones above.  Good Luck.
