5 dollar not-so-fun

i am a big ross mathews fan. i read his blog daily whenever possible and one of the things he does with his friend, nikki, is called "5 dollar fun." they shop in a random store and spend five dollars on each other. in a fit of boredom, sara suggests that we try this game. i chose the store...toys'r us.

i don't know if anyone is familiar with the "James Brown" incident circa 2003, but i should NEVER be allowed to choose a gift for Sara without some guidance. needless to say, i don't think sara will give into her boredom in this way again.

sara was pretty successful in her quest for something i would like....



how cool was that stuff? all for under five dollars. well, this is what SHE got...



believe it or not, this gem left me with $1.02 in change left over. i was sadly convinced that she liked spiderman. how can you go wrong with a spiderman potato head?

by buying for sara.

i'll be returning it.

maybe.

I totally laughed out loud reading this! It may not have been fun for Sara, but it was fun for me to hear about it! I think you picked your gift more for yourself than for P! (I would have done the same thing!)
