the grinch!

I have personally met the Grinch a few years ago. In the book after he tries and almost succeeds at stealing Christmas, his heart grows and he becomes sweet, caring, and loving. Despite his emotional development in the book and in the movie, he wasn't quite as friendly as I expected him to be in real life. Of course, when we went to Islands of Adventure, we knew we weren't taking a picture with Jim Carey, but we at least expected this man in the costume to be happy. There are a number of possible reasons for this attitude of his though. It was a hot day in Florida in Dr, Seuss lad meaning there were a bunch of rowdy, screaming kids everywhere. He was wearing a hairy, dirty green Grinch costume and had to put in mustard yellow contacts which also wasn't anything to be proud about. And to top that off, he had to wear an old, worn Santa Clause costume over the other ugly costume. Yes, he was supposed to act like a Grinch, but not to the extent that he was. :)
