So, I really thought we could get through this latest fad without ever buying one single silly band. I didn't feel like I was depriving my kids the fun of the latest trend, they were coming home with new ones that they somehow mooched off their friends, or more likely, that their friends gave them taking pity on them. But that all changed Monday. The kids talked me into going to Wal-mart to buy their own silly bands. I didn't realize so many came in a pack, something like 2000 for a dollar. (Now I don't feel so bad that my kids have been bummin em' off others. I think I now owe some kind kids that took mercy on my kiddos a whoppin' 30 cents). But they all used their own money and we came home with quite a load of Silly Bands.
Now my kids look properly sloppy. They are not good-looking bracelets. They look messy, but as in all fads, this too shall pass.
stupid inventor of silly bands! i bet he/she is throwing money in the air, laughing hysterically as we speak.
ReplyDeletei can't wait for these things to go away! i hate finding them around the house, but i have no problem throwing them away... ;)
My kids haven't even mentioned them to me...the only reason I know about them is because of other peoples blogs! If it weren't for you guys I wouldn't even know what was going on, so thanks!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, they make me insane. Like you, I finally gave in a few weeks ago and took my kids to the dollar store (after much begging). I kid you not - Afton went to school the following day will about 100 bands on her arms. I was ridiculous, but she couldn't have been any happier. She now had "trading power" and real status in the fourth grade.
