    True enough - it's all about pride and self-respect. Good point.

    They rigged those machines so they are practically impossible because of people like my dad and I!:biggrin_25521::biggrin_2559: We use to do pretty darn good at those claw machines years ago. He had young grandsons to spoil! :biggrin_25523:

    I am actually not to bad myself after all these years--but my 5y/o grandson--who isn't fond of grandpa helping--loves to remind me--I CAN DO IT!--I'm big y'know!
    LMAO

    my little guy and i do pretty good on them as well--sometimes nothing--but lots of times we get something---the best one was a recentely filled machine--must have been a new worker cause they didnt jam the stuff tight--so you could just knock it over into the drop slot--after 5 stuffed things i kinda gave up

    My boys are now all too old for stuffed animals and things like that, so I don't mess with the skill cranes right now. Someday I will have grandkids, and then I will start teaching them when they are old enough!
