Ok. So I have a secret.. I'm not supposed to tell.. If I get caught telling I don't know what will happen to me. Promise you won't tell???
Promise???
I mean it! I will get in big trouble.. Plus Jack is liable to beat me up for it if he finds out any thing about it, ok?
Are we clear???
I'm the Easter Bunny.. Not "The Easter Bunny" but since he can't be expected to go to every house, Some of us mothers have pitched in and decided to help the poor bunny out and put baskets together for our kids in this part of the world. That is why you will find basket supplies in all the stores at Easter time. But if word go out to kids like Jack about this there would be rioting in the stores and streets and there would be hell to pay..
This year, I had a small list of things that Jack had expressed interest in. I was not going to buy the $400 electric car he wanted nor was I going to buy a $60 Iron Man piece of plastic so I tried to keep it on the creative side. I got him a few of the hex bugs, a ramp for them, a really cool 3-d coloring book and the colored bubbles he had been wanting. a few more little things and voia you have yourself a moderately priced easter basket for a five year old..
But, lets back up a bit.. I said Colored bubbles. The commercial made it look so easy and fun. The packaging said no mess clean up and no spills, washes right out. BWAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA. I think I have been taken for a sucker. It was the worst thing I have bought in a while. We have orange and green. The orange dripped, leaked and spilled everywhere. At first it was so dense it looked like blood. It did come off some things like a dream. Wood it did not.
What in the hell was I thinking when I bought this?? Sure Jack liked it, wanted it. But he has wanted a lot of things and I have put my foot down. Why did I have to be so niaeve about this?? I have half a mind to call the company and say hey I am not happy with your product. My son blew about 10 bubbles before it made such a mess, spilled and we had to throw it away. What a rip....
Am I really getting that old that I need a sane party with me when purchasing things now???
Promise???
