Day 27 - Silly is as silly does


Yoohoo! Aunt Christine and Uncle Ralph over there in China!! Hey, see these? >>>>
Your niece and nephews are obsessed with these. Surely, they are super cheap in China - the place they are made.

Everyone wants Silly Bandz (well, knock off Silly Bandz) every time we go out these days and every place we go has some kind of Silly Bandz to sell. Even the hardware store had a sign out that said, "We have Silly Bandz!".

$2.99 at Walgreens, $1.99 at Target, $2.59 at doodle mart, $1.49 at a different Walgreens, $2.99 at Publix, thank goodness we found some for $1 at Walmart!

The children have accumulated a huge number of Silly Bandz. My vacuum cleaner is full of Silly Bandz. The pool skimmer even has Silly Bandz!

Frankly, I think I'm in for an appalling $15 worth of Silly Bandz at this point, not counting the money of their own that the kids have spent!


So, to sort of quote Forrest Gump, "Silly is as silly does".

  1. Chances are they cannot get them over here - I never can figure out why we cannot find the things "Made in China" "Made in Indonesia" "Made in Malaysia" living right here in Singapore. I have to go to the states to get clothes made here. Go figure.
