Kids, Furbys and Gullible Dads ![]() So I took my family out to Alameda Brew House last night (which I highly recommend). While we were waiting for our food, a family sat at the table next to us. The little girl had a Furby. Claire was instantly in love with it and desperately wanted one. She watched that thing for our entire meal. Halfway through dinner she asked me if I would get her one. I said if you are a good girl I will get you one after dinner. I will never commit to anything like that again. We left and headed straight to Target thinking they would have them. They did not. We then went to Fred Meyer. Claire was so upset that Target didn't have one that she was sure Freddies didn't either. We got to the toy section and asked the employee if they had Furbys. He took us straight to them. I was like "CLAIRE THEY DO HAVE THEM!". She got so excited. I grabbed her the one pictured above. At checkout the cashier said $40. I was like
... "FORTY DOLLARS!?!?!?". I thought it wouldnt be over $20. But I told Claire I would get her one. So I sheepeshly handed them $40 for a stuffed animal that talks, sings and plays with her. GEESH I am gullible.2006-02-21 17:46:54 GMT

Those things are very strange. But stranger the toy the more kids love them. I had to buy them for the twins. Definitely a toy that got under my sister's skin.
