The Dollar store is God-send ..!! yes… everything for a buck..! and it’s great when you have kids..! because you and I know.. how much a kid wants to buy presents. The brat is no different from other kids.. but she is quite happy with the dollar store toys.. although some can be really poor quality.

Now if only they had these Dollar Stores when we were kids.. that would have been great for parents of my mother’s time. The poorer kids wouldn’t feel deprived at all. I remembered even bicycles were made and imported from UK .. so you can imagine.. how deprived even those in the middle income family were.

We had lunch at Jungle Jims today.. and the brat drew for her food.. muahahhhaa!! yes.. she entered the Starving Artist Contest while sitting and waiting for her ice cream since she had already eaten at the store. But she sure got all her theme correct, she drew giraffes, hippos and tigers. And nope.. we didn’t helped her.. she told us a matter of factly.. that these were what they were… since we really didn’t recognized any.. muahahhaha!! But you have gotta give her extra points for trying eh..?
