Dude, What's Up With That???

We went to the Maine Wildlife Park tonight for a Halloween event. I'll post the few pictures I took there later, I just wanted to get this off my chest...
This was a family-oriented event. They had games and such for the kids. One was pumpkin bowling, where the kid rolls up to three small pumpkins at a large wooden cut-out pumpkin with three holes in the bottom. If you get a pumpkin through one of the holes, the lights in the eyes go off and the kid "wins". Yay. Whatever. But it's not really "winning," it's winning. A victorious kid gets a piece of penny candy. The kids who don't win get nothing. What's up with that? We're talking about two-and-three-year-olds being denied a lolly-pop. Seriously? Avery was so disappointed that she didn't get a piece of candy and Riley did. How lame. A lot of parents thought that kids got a piece of candy after bowling no matter what and approached the candy crone, only to be questioned whether the kid got a pumpkin in the hole or not, and if not, too bad so sad, no candy for you or your little diaper-wearing loser. How sucky is that?
Ugh, Avery was just so crest-fallen, it broke my heart :(...
...and made be feel better about lying about Avery's age to get her in for free. You cheated my daughter out of a piece of one-cent candy and I cheated you out of five dollars. Nanny-nanny-boo-boo, who's the loser now?
