Wow. Just wow.

You guys came out and voted. Like champs. Like champs in a movie about champs. But, like all games, to the victor(ess) comes the spoils….

Our winner is…

HEIDI S. from Minnesota!

With a landslide victory of 62 votes, her story was chosen as THE crappiest Father’s Day gift. Here’s a quick recap of the story that won it all:

“When Heidi was 7, she got so mad at her dad that she wrote an IOU that said ”i-o-u nothing..u-o-me a new dad” and then gave him a rock from outside.”

Heidi, you have just won yourself an incredibly (in)expensive and not-at-all-mediocre STARBUCKS GIFT CARD* worth 2,500 pennies.

We know. Your mind is blown. You’re welcome. But since you were a sport, we also wanted to tell everyone about the awesomeness that is you, Heidi.

Heidi is the author of AOAMM (Adventures of a Minnesota Mom), mother to two daughters and will be married in April of 2012 to Ross, her partner-in-crime and a Purple Heart recipient for his service in the Iraq wars.

Thanks for following us, Heidi, congratulations on your triumph and best of luck to you in all your endeavors!
