This submission is for my good friend, erika, but i thought everyone might get a kick out of it. When erika & i were pregnant with our first kids (hers due in oct, mine in nov), we went to A LOT of rummage sales. We stocked up on clothes, toys, all our baby needs (& of course stuff we didn't need). We continued rummaging after the babies were born & we still like to go bargain shopping together. When our now almost 6 year olds were babies, we found a "jackpot rummage sale". A lady was willing to sell us a WHOLE BOX of toys for a cheap price. We were thrilled! We each chipped in $1 & bought the box! When we got back to my house, we split the toys. This was a fairly easy process until we came upon a cool cell phone toy. We both wanted it ... bad. There was also a minnie mouse tv thing that neither of us wanted. Well, since erika is the more aggressive of us (ok, i'm laughing now after typing that, cause i can just imagine erika rolling her eyes) she won the cell phone. I "won" the lame minnie mouse tv thing. Over five years later, josie is still playing with her minnie mouse tv. Today she dug it out of her toy box, brought it to  grandma's house & turned it on for her stuffed animals, herself & jakob. She always really liked it & it makes me smile every time she plays with it. I wonder if erika's son mason still plays with his cool cell phone. Oh, and i predict that after erika reads this, she'll tell me that i need to let josie watch more regular tv & less minnie mouse fake tv. I hope we have many more bargain shopping days ahead of us & hopefully we don't fight over any more toys!
