Be Glad You Threw It Out AnywayMarch 05, 2009
Moms everywhere will feel a pang hearing about the boy in the UK who sold a vast collection of McDonald's Happy Meals toys for some $12,000. So here's a boost to make you feel better: You were right to toss it. It's only plastic. It's junk. It messed up your minivan and your playroom floors. It's ugly as sin. Not that those toys stayed long in their valuable original wrappers around my house anyway. ("Finish your chicken nuggets and then you can open the package...I said put down the toy...no two bites of French fries doesn't count...No I don't know why you didn't get the same toy as your sister but you can only trade if she wants to...no don't grab it...she doesn't seem to want to trade....that's just the way it is....I said finish your chicken nuggets first....") Those toys cause more bickering than they're worth, too. |
