In Chinese School today, the kids each got a spinster toy - the $2 toy that was a craze about 4 months ago. Almost every kid in school had it... and being the cheap, frugal parents we are, the kids didn't even bother asking us to buy it for them, cuz they knew we'd say "No."
But when I picked them up... boy were they happy. All they wanted to do was go home and play with it... aka spin it on their finger. SW even went down to say, "This is my favorite toy! I've always wanted this."
Gotta ask myself.... why don't I spend that $2 to make them happy? Why make them go through this long wait... where they MIGHT get a gift they've always wanted?? What kind of parent am I?
