I try to be a savvy shopper, especially when forking out money for gifts. I don't want to spend money on something that will turn out being absolute junk, so naturally when Kayli had her heart set on having a 'muffin maker' for her birthday. I did some research. According to all the reviews it was crap, didn't work right, and tasted like cardboard. Really bad cardboard. Of course I didn't buy it for her...
My sister did, even though I told her not to she bought the crappy muffin maker. I was a little irritated she did exactly what I told her not to but Kayli was ecstatic, it was what she had been begging for and she was on cloud nine. Couldn't wait to cook her 'muffins' (FYI they are cupcakes but she calls them muffins-not exactly sure why.) She cooked her muffins, they tasted like cardboard, and the frosting thing sure enough did not work right at all. What a waste of money right!?
Well actually, Kayli was absolutely thrilled. She had an awesome time 'cooking' with her Daddy. And I heard her exclaim more than once "These are the best muffins in the world!!!"
Whats the point... well sometimes the toy they want is a complete waste of money and a total ripoff, but the kids don't care. They have fun even if the spiny thing doesn't spin, and their taste buds evidently like cardboard so....
If it is something Kayli has begging for for months, next time I think I'll get it anyway, because even though the toy isn't worth the money, the smile on her face sure is.
