The prize was an air purifier
I consistently help support the local fundraisers for the universities, and our kids bring home the products that they’re selling, and I’ll usually buy a couple of boxes of chocolate and donate the candy to our church and the local children’s hospital. Our son was particularly cheerful about this fundraiser because of some of the prizes available for selling a particular amount of fundraiser products, and to be honest, I thought he wanted to go for the top prize which was a cool looking dirt bike! I could imagine him tearing it up in the backwoods where the teenagers consistently go biking, then I remember telling him that if he won that dirtbike, he better wear a helmet and be careful. He just smiled and did his thing. I also told him that the chocolate he had on hand, he better keep it in the a/c of our new home so none of the bars were melting. He kept them in his room nearby where his window AC equipment was working. I would have told him to put the bars in the freezer, but our freezer was packed with food so that couldn’t be done. He sold so many chocolate bars and other treats, I thought for sure he would win the first prize, and actually though, he ended up getting 3rd place which still qualified him for the bronze price, which was a UV media whole-new home air purifier. It was actually an unquestionably nice one and he later told us that this was the prize he was shooting for. He didn’t genuinely like the dirtbike or the second prize smart temperature control. He wanted that UV media whole-new home air purifier to help improve our air quality at home and keep us safe from dangerous pathogens, and what a thoughtful kid he has turned out to be.
