Remember when the multicolored plastic bracelets were all the rage? We would see how many we could fit on our arms and use them as braces! Well, they are back and even cooler than ever. Silly Bands are the new hot trend for the kids around here. Apparently, Peyton and Eliza were the only kids in the entire school who didn't have these today. I, of course, don't want them to feel left out and be the laughing stock of the school. So, we drove from CVS to CVS to find these darn things. They were sold out everywhere. Finally, a nice woman secretly told me that she had seen 20 packs at the nearby 7-11. Off we go. I am surprised I didn't get a speeding ticket, but I had to have these today or my girls would just fall apart. I had heard the girls talking about them for weeks, but clearly didn't understand their coolness and popularity.
We got to 7-11 and Peyton came inside with me and right behind the counter were the bracelets. I felt a huge sigh of relief and Peyton was grinning like she had won the lottery. I wish we had won the lottery, but alas; maybe next time when the jackpot is over 100mil it will be our turn.
I am sure you are wondering what makes these bracelets so cool. Well, they look like plain old colored rubber bands when they are on the wrist. But, when you take them off they go into their original form which could be anything. We got a bag of zoo animals, dinosaurs, and farm animals. The perfect match for P and E. Three bags for $9.00. My kids couldn't be happier. There are so many different varieties that are sold, so the cool thing to do is trade on the playground. I remember those days
of trading garbage pail kid cards and stickers. I am much happier with them trading these harmless bracelets. I made my kids night and they are both sound asleep with 16 silly bands on their wrists.

ugh. so happy donnie broke his "duck" he got from a school party as soon as we got in the car. the obsession ended the moment the bracelet broke. he hasn't mentioned wanting one of those cheapo pieces of plastic since. i have heard the kids talking about them at school and moms complaining to each other about them. there will be something new for all the kids to obsess over in a few months. are you wearing one? xxo.
ReplyDeleteNO! I am thinking it will fade as well. Eliza isn't wearing hers today and Peytons are on and off. Why can't we come up with some dumb idea and make millions!
