Sam vs. The Charlotte Observer



Sam's fat, little hands are fast! He gets them on everything--even things you're sure are out of his reach. Earlier this week, he got his first taste of ice cream, oh yes, ice cream. A fistful of pistachio mint ice cream was his reward for swatting repeatedly at my cone. And by the excited look on his eyes, he liked it! One morning, after redirecting his curious little paws from the paper several times, I finally gave up and thought this might be fun to watch...

The paper suffered some early defeats. Sam's victory wasn't all too sweet though (unlike the one at Baskin Robbins), because the paper--much like his infamous "time-out" elephant--was a frustrating nemesis, and when he did finally roll away, he did it with black, ink-stained fingers. Egged on by the crunching and morphing paper, Sam's temper got the best of him, and Sam vs. The Charlotte Observer ended in a draw--not even a moral victory for the little guy.
