Convo with harry...

[heidi]

Harry: mommy, what do you want for Hanukah?
Me: an mp3 player.
Harry: I don't think daddy will be happy to hear that. We wanted to get you a Barbie.

Heh.

If said Barbie had an in built mp3 player, everything would be fine...

Okay, an MP3 player. That'll work. Don't know why daddy would be so unhappy about that.

The question is: what kind of MP3 player? A high-end, classy thingie (like the iPod or it's much smaller (though more PC-friendly cousin whose name escapes me), or a lower-end thingie that runs on flash memory?

Now, what about the other seven nights? Or do you just celebrate on the first night, just after sundown, like most Jewish families these days?

But Harry's response does make one wonder where he got the impression that daddy planned to get you a Barbie in the first place.

I had this Barbie phase a few years ago (long story that involves a fandom joke) and now my son and husband just assume that I want whatever Barbie is the big deal Barbie this year. I think I'm getting Swan Lake Barbie this year to go with Rapunzel Barbie from last year. No amount of suggesting anything else ever sways them from heading to the Barbie aisle. That and I somehow ended up collecting little crystal turtles. I don't like crystal turtles but hey, I have a collection of them and get a new one every time my mom takes my son shopping for a present.

Go for the Barbie.

after repeatedly asking my friend what he wanted for his birthday, and him never giving me a straight answer, he got a malibu barbie. :D

Personally, I'd love one of those Real Life Barbie's.

I'm all for "Make Your Own Damned Dinner" Barbie or "PMS Barbie" (I've heard she comes with a Xanax sample pack).

Oh, and don't forget "Divorced Barbie"--comes with Ken's house, Ken's car, and Ken's boat.

Cute. ^_^ Although Barbies are not IN anymore (source: random girls at sister's school). Bratz are in. And they have motorbike boyz.

LMAO! And why do husbands always get the kids to do the asking?

Have a happy Barbie-less Hanukah. :)
