Do any of you remember the Pet Rock craze from the 70s? Some guy was at a bar one night and he and his buddies' conversation turned to pets and all the hard work involved with caring for a pet. This guy mentioned that a pet rock would be easy to care for. No need to feed, bathe or walk it because it was...well, a ROCK. So this guy went home and actually came up with plan to sell "Pet Rocks." He became a millionaire! Yeah, crazy!
The box it came in even came with holes so it could "breath!!"
And a manual!
And I may or may not have had one.
You didn't??!!
In my defense, I was like....8 years-old. HA!
Anyway, I remember bugging my mom for one. And I mean, I bugged her!!!
Well, Karma came and bit me in the butt. Literally. My baby Gabriella had been bugging me...relentlessly...about wanting the latest trend amongst pre-teen girls. No rocks this time, now, the latest trend is those feathers in their hair. Yeah, like real feathers! I now know what my mom felt like when I bugged her like crazy for that rock. I finally gave in because:
a) She really wanted them; and
b) She brought home straight A's, so I figured she deserved them (:
I let her schedule her appointment and off we went.
She chose 3 feathers and excitedly sat down to have them put in:
Pretty!!
So yes, I can now officially say that I have a child with feathers out of her head!
I will definitely check that off of my bucket list....you know, since I already checked off that pet rock! (:
Is it Friday yet??
