This is my first post

I decided to start a blog because it seemed like the thing to do, and I want to start writing more. This could be a mix of telling about my day, interesting conversations, funny things I see at the store, or more creative writing about whatever I feel like.

I'll start with something funny I saw at Target, to keep things light. The toy below costs $14.



Kids are getting so uncreative. It appears to be pieces of plastic that kids can strap to their feet to slide across the carpet. Again, it costs $14. But it does "make any carpet fun" so, y'know, must be totally worth the money. Whatever happened to sliding across the floor in your socks? I guess that doesn't really help if you have wall-to-wall carpet in your house, but come on... $14 for pieces of plastic? Also, this game sounds dangerous. A kid could slide into the TV and the TV could fall on him and crush him. But look how much fun that kid is having!

Once you have accepted that we live in a world where THIS exists, these carpet-slider things will hardly even register.
