Note that he is bargaining upwards. First it was 2 dolls. Now it's 4 or 5. Soon it will be up to 10 or 12 and then the narrative will shift to "crazy democrats think all girls should have 20 dolls for free."

The tariffs instantly bankrupted my sons favorite little U.S. board game publisher. He invested in their kickstarter and now they don't exist. The printed game is sitting in some warehouse in China b/c bringing it ashore would cost more than they already spent to print it.

Mine counted every lego people every plastic dinosaur, and really, anything she could anthropomorphize as a baby. So, I think that's a realistic count for any child who thinks the baby animals on the bedsheets are her babies.

Nah. You have a birthday party at the bounce house place and invite your 5 year old's entire K class and your daughter tells all her friends she likes Barbie so the kids buy a $10 Barbie "surprise" doll of some kind or one of the $15 sets and you have 30+ pretty damn fast.

Our school has a policy, which I think is probably for the best, that you can't send invitations to school unless they are for the entire class. So it encourages you to invite everyone until they reach cell phone age and just set up their own invites. I get why they do it.

L. Wednesday @lizzywednesday.bsky.social

So did our elementary schools, and I think that's the fairest way to handle at-school invites! Because class lists are apparently taboo in the 21st century, the admin suggested you could go through the teachers to ask who your kid played with at recess, but AYFKM?

(TBC, not a defense of trump, he's a fucking idiot, but little kids do end up with huge piles of plastic figures. And this isn't new. My cousins in the mid 80s had a huge bin of Barbies and their dad was a mechanic in WV).

It was so much more expensive back then too. Like, they cost about the same but it was a much bigger deal to spend $15. With how much stuff kids get via subscription (TV, movies, music, games) we try to encourage family to buy them experiences instead (tickets and passes to things).

My family spent non-food money on Catholic school tuition (K-8) for what would eventually be 4 kids. We all switched to public once I finished 8th grade. But, yeah, $15 or $20 for a Barbie was aspirational!

I had two; I used babysitting money, my allowance, and a "Christmas Club" savings account to fund them + a set of the hardcover books (used to be 6 short chapter books with themed stories & historical info in the back.) They were my Big Gifts in 1988 and 1989.
