Also sea monkies, a chemistry set that I used to turn the bathroom sink permently blue, and the most super awesomest gift for a 9 year old ever, this thing called "spinwelder" that was bassically a high speed rotary drill that you attacked long thing peices of plastic too and then started it spinning and used it to "weld" other peices of plastic together as they got hot and started to melt. So basically, electronics, plastic fumes and then burning, sometimes flaming luqid plastic that would fall off regularly and stick to your feet.


I didn't get sea monkies until I was 21. They never learned to play baseball, but did eventually become too numerous and large that I was certain it was abusive to leave them in the sea monkey lair...so I got a 10 gallon fish tank for them. My coworkers laughed at me.

I had a rock tumbler when I was about 6, sure that I could make a small fortune with it. Stupid rock tumbler.

Speaking of Mr. Potato Heads, I got my sister one of those that's dressed up like Darth Vader. And it's called Darth Tater.

I giggled.

Fixed to match what I read.


...and what I originally typed, then rewrote for *exactly* that reason. I knew someone would say something about it anyway. You're nothing if not predictable.

Sorry, was that too sassy?

Spank me harder baby.

You don't for a second think I didn't know that right?


Whatever. I do know that for some reason, that bit reminded me of one of the few funny moments that still occur now and then in SG-1. Yeah. Sidetrack. Sue me. So Vala shows up after being sucked into another galaxy. Somehow along the way, she's been impregnated but has no clue how it happened since she hadn't had sex with anyone during the time in question. She's sitting around the briefing table asking the group if they've ever heard of a child being concieved in the manner. There's this sort of awkward silence. Then Teal'c responds saying "Yes. Anakin Skywalker".

Dunno. Still cracks me up.


Um. As to gifts for 8 yo girls. With three neices and a god daughter who are all in or recently through that age, the easiest things are probably stuff like kid jewelry sets (as a few people have mentioned). Also, the make-your-own bead stuff works well. Makeup sets are questionable, since some parents wont allow them. Other stuff, like barbies, bratz, games, puzzles, and such will depend on the kid's own interests. One of my neices was a huge Harry Potter fan at that age (she's 11 now, but was about 8 when the films first started coming out). None of the other girls care that much about it. Some will really like puzzles and arts/crafts stuff. Some wont. Same kinda deal if you're looking at CDs or DVDs for kids. Talk to their parents. Find out what sorts of things they're into. Discuss whether they need or have specific things.

Kids are actually pretty easy to buy for. At least I think so...

Play-Doh rules. Even back when there were only like four colors.

As long as you don't actually grind it into the carpet. Smiley: frown

Joph Jr. *is* a boy. He was invited to a little girl's birthday party.

FleaJo1, get her some meth, some clothes three sizes too small, and a subscription to Cosmo. It's never too early to instill a healthy dysmorphic body image.
