Wrong business

Just took my daughter and friends out for her seventh birthday....

we went to "build a bear workshop".....basically kids take an unstuffed teddy bear fill it full of stuffing and buy it a snazzy costume.......$25-35 each bear...2 minutes to make....and every kid wants the coolest costume..$$$$$

HOLY CRAP.....what a license to print money...anyone want a replica company...... I am off to stuff bears...... ;-)

Well Fran, get used ot it! ;)

I've been on the receiving end of the Build A Bear, as my daughter attended a party at one, and it has to cost some serious cash! Sydney liked it a lot though!

But things have changed. Sydney went to a birthday party today (I mised out, Lola work) and got a $5 gift certificate to Barnes and Noble in her "goodie bag" for coming. Just like Build a Bear, when you go to a party, to give presents to the birthday person, you still get a present.

And, tomorrow Sydney goes to another birthday party and is probably going to bring home some more booty and it isn't even her birthday!

Sure wasn't like this when I was 5, heck, I remember maybe getting some ice cream when I went to a friend's party and that was it. Times change.....

Oh yeah, it is a major disaster when there is no "party bag" for Rebecca after attending a party! But I bet our parents grumbled just the same when we were 5 and that when Sydney and Rebecca have kids (that's a scary thought right now) they will grumble at the kind of toys that their kids want and demands they make!

Ron-

Just a reality check, but you have your own Build-A-Something party going on in your garage... And I'm pretty sure it was more than $25 (even without the RF contribution).

I'd sure be smiling if I came home from a party with one of those!

Patiently waiting for a few things of my own to change,
Chris
