As I stood patiently awaiting my little girl to burst through the doors when the last school bell let out, the cold air was hitting my face, it was no different from any other day. I chit chatted with the other moms and dads about the weather and the latest happenings of Grade 1 as I scanned the ocean of children for Gabriella.
The only thing different was that I had my eye out for something. Since Gabs brought it to my attention, I thought I'd take a peek. On the other hand, I must have looked like a crazy lady scanning these children.
What was I looking for you ask?
And my word, they are
EVERYWHERE! I swear every kid that walked past me had their arms almost up to their elbows in these things. Kids Gabs age, kids a few years older. Kids taller than me--wait, half of them
ARE taller than me.
Yeaaah.
Anyway, some of them were running hand in hand towards the bus, skipping with thier little arms adorned in them.
(Perhaps, being swallowed by them... Yeah, that sounds about right.) So, I found them alright and it's like an epidemic.
I bet you're wondering what the heck they are and what they're for, huh?
I sure did.
Well, the way my husband and his buddy describe them
(his 9 year-old daughter is addicted too), some guy, somewhere, stuck a rubber band in a microwave and
POOF! He single-handedly and quite haphazardly invented
Silly Bandz.
But forreals, they weren't
really invented that way, they just
are seem that useless.
Well, they are rubber bands shaped in various shapes and forms. All different colors, glitter, glow-in-the-dark, you name it. They got it. Not only has
Disney jumped on board, they come in
Disney Princess form and Disney Cars form and frankly any shape you can imagine. Boots, lipsticks, crowns, animals, dinosaurs! There's even knock-offs. I believe they are called
Wacky Bandz! And guess what?
Gabriella wanted in.
