Boys will be boys

You've got to love little boys; they keep you on your toes. Take Robert Moore. When he puts his mind to something, there's no stopping him. On Saturday night, the 3-year-old from Wisconsin was shopping with his grandmother when she let him try to win a SpongeBob SquarePants doll out of a vending machine. When he failed to capture it with the crane, his grandmother said she'd win him one.

Then she turned her back on him while she got another dollar from her purse. Big mistake!
Robert really, REALLY wanted that SpongeBob. So he went in after it. His grandmother was a little freaked out when she couldn't find him, only to hear an "I'm in here" and spotting him INSIDE the vending machine.

Store employees didn't have a key, so they called the fire department. The firemen gave Robert a screwdriver. He piled up a bunch of stuffed animals and climbed on them, then used the screwdriver to open the latch and free himself. He went home safely, but articles say he went home sans SpongeBob. Bummer.

I have a 3-year-old boy, and when I saw the photo of Robert, I thought, "Yeah, he'd do that." They're interesting creatures, aren't they?

There's definitely something to that "Boys will be boys" phrase.
