Default My son made me proud yesterday...
My grandma is in town from Illinois, so we did Thanksgiving and had the kids open their Christmas presents from her.

One of them was a Hot Wheels set with a hauler full of 20 cars. He opened it, clapped, and then stared at it for a while. He mom then tried to hand him a box full of clothes, and he just slapped them out of the way, and went back to playing with the cars.

He's probably doomed to be a car salesman now. His life is ruined.

$0.17? I have never seen them for cheaper than a dollar. Is that one of their loss-leaders?

I didn't see the ad, my wife was telling me that is what they had advertised in the flyer. I told her to go get me $20 worth.
