ooohhh, the claw...

Posted on by Kolbe

One of the most frustrating games in the world is one of those claw grab-machines you find at bowling alleys and arcades (are those still a thing?!). You know the one, you put in fifty cents, position a metal claw on a crane and lower it over the prize you hope to pluck out. Some people at a Nebraska bowling alley were trying their luck on just such a game when they spotted the grand prize, a real-life, living, breathing child sitting in the machine with the stuffed animals. The company supplying the machine was called and promptly let the kid out of the machine. The police were also called. They had just received a call from the mother saying her child was missing. The mother and child were reunited, and this marks the first time in the history of claw machines that someone got what they wanted out of it.
