Every time we walk through the mall, we pass the Overly Expensive Stuffed Creature store. I have this fantasy of my little family going through the store excitedly putting together their new best friend and gratefully picking out just the right accessory before we skipped out the door with their boxes that look like a house clutched tight in their little hands.
I'm not that stupid though. I know that I would be the only one excited. The kids wouldn't know it was a big deal and the dad would be ready to leave the moment we entered. The kids would probably pick out the most expensive animal, and would lose interest long before the thing was stuffed. Then they would want ALL the accessories, and probably throw a large fit on the floor. The "best friends" would be left next to the counter as we paid because the kids spotted the gumball machine outside.
This doesn't stop me from wanting to do it. The last time we were at a mall, R noticed the store so we all went in and looked around. A girl was pulling her new puppy on a leash. The poor animal had on a skirt, shirt, jacket, sunglasses, hairbow, and rollerskates. (I'm guessing it cost more than our rent.) R was excited, and M saw that they have an owl she could make. That was when I knew I had to start my Overly Expensive Stuffed Creature fund. It's going to take a while, so I should probably plan on RR being old enough to participate in the adventure. What should I do? I'm thinking recycle aluminum cans, use my mail in rebate money, or sell plasma.
It's totally one of those credit card commercials.
Stuffed creature- $$
Crazy kids- :<
Stressed mom because the adventure isn't going the way she planned- #!%**$!
The memory- priceless. Cause you mainly remember the good stuff, right?
So we got it back out and he ate a few more bites.
2 project, 2 missing finger tips.
