More tape, please, Mama
This is what happens when I don't want to get off the computer--I bribe her with office supplies. Who needs toys when you have scotch tape?
The Truth Comes Out
I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have. Oh and it comes in petite, so I can get a large that won't squeeze my tummy and not hav

If he sees you with a rool of tape he gets very excited, then starts pointing at the parts of his body he wants you to put tape on.

And now I learn that Miss R also enjoyed tape.
So glad to know the Big O is normal.
I came to a similar conclusion when preparing for a family road trip when my kids were young. Bandaids, tape, all those things that we normally don't let them play with - we usually say "no", b/c we "can't afford" to waste things. But then I compared these items to the cost of toys, and said, "YES!" (You can imagine what the back seat of the car looked like, but no harm done, and it 'saved the day'.) :)
