I know, right?! Look on eBay for "gashapon machine." You'll find lots of miniature ones. :D

Hey now, don't knock legos - they saved Hammond's* mind, so they're good for therapy, at the very least. ^^ We all need that after a stressful day at work, right? ;)

That noise you hear is the sound of the American public school system weeping quietly in the corner.

THIS. The incorrect math wasn't what bothered me most. I'm not that great at math, either! But one of those items was more than the kid had, so the sad attempt at addition wasn't even necessary.

The box is a Hot Wheels track. ^_^

weeeell, the parent might have been willing to fill in the extra three if the kid wanted the game; if the deal was "one toy or as much as you can get for 13 dollars." But distraction is more likely ;-)

I disagree so much with parents doing this. When I went to the store with my mom, I could buy whatever I had the money for. She didn't pitch in--not even for tax. I quickly learned that just because I had $5, I couldn't get something that cost $4.99. That's an important lesson! Mom won't always be there to bail you out when you're at the check-out counter.

And this is why the functionally dysnumeric don't leave the house without a calculator.
