| Oh my.  When I was a kid,Posted By: Z on 2007-12-27In Reply to: Actually the people with money buy all the nonsense items for their kids - SM
 
 my dad was an engineer, and then was even promoted to manager, and we had hand-made clothes and hand-me-downs.  For Christmas when I was about 7 I remember asking for a jewelry making kit that was being advertised on TV for girls, and instead of that I was given some little plastic O-shaped beads to string, in a few different colors, all the same.  Sort of like stroke rehab work.  This was the moment I knew Santa was not real; this was the work of PARENTS!  Hehehehe.
 
 I was quite disappointed, but then again this was probably a $5 item I asked for, not $300!  How times change.
