Mercedes' pedal pull this year in Glencoe
As I'm trying to work, I keep remembering different stories to write in here.
I have a co-worker, Jean, who has a grandson the same age as Mercedes. Well, they got involved in pedal pulls last year as me and my big mouth always spout off about the girls. Last year she asked me when the pull was in Glencoe and her grandson placed one above Mercedes. I think Mercedes got 3rd last year in Glencoe and Adam got 2nd. He also placed one above her in Winthrop. Major bummer, but oh well. I always was polite about it, but then she seemed a bit snooty because Adam always beat her. She'd come to work and mention how good Adam did, but wouldn't say a word about Mercedes. I quit talking about it then and I didn't tell her anymore where the next pulls were. Screw you then. Anyway, the Glencoe one is always the first one of the year. We planned on going, but I never mentioned it to Jean. Lo and behold, we see them at the pull. I kept telling Mercedes that that was the little boy who kept beating her last year and I told her I would really like it if she tried hard this year and beat him. She smiled and said she would do her best. I can't remember what number Mercedes was, but I believe Adam was after her. It was absolutely hilarious because 2 boys got 1st and 2nd and then Mercedes got 1st and BEAT ADAM!!! It was a hoot!! I loved every minute of it!! Adam was upset because he didn't win, but whatever. I didn't say anything to Jean after that because they were sitting in a different spot. Crazy. So, on Monday I heard the other family workers ask Jean how the pedal pull was and she said Adam did ok but didn't place. She didn't say a word that Mercedes beat him! I didn't say anything either, but I told Mary (my coworker) that Mercedes had beaten him. lol. How odd, but we've never seen them at another pedal pull since. Hmmmmm, I wonder why? lol. Again, what good sportsmanship. That's my girl!!!!
Peace.
