MommyToAshley replied: Did I forget to mention that TLCDad had to have this little toy plastic soldier with a parachute attached so he could throw it off the balcony. At first I said, "NO", but then I gave in -- because the toys he wants are usually $100's, not $1. Now when he wants the $100 remote-controlled whatever or the $200 game system, I can say "NO" because he got the parachute soldier - haha. See, I had a strategy afterall! And, it was just in time, Computer Fest is tomorrow!

AlexsPajamaMama replied: lol too funny!! My DH is so the same way about those silly toys! Has to have them!!
Oh and also the same way about bigger more expensive toys too!! Game systems and golf clubs!!

I think I spend more at the dollar store when I go by myself with no one rushing me and distracting me from my shopping!!!

C&K*s Mommie replied: wow! A post from 2003. How in the world, did someone run across this? LOL

AlexsPajamaMama replied: Wow thats wierd!!
I just clicked on page 2 of posts and there it was!

MomToJade&Jordan replied: LOL! I didn't even look at the date.

C&K*s Mommie replied: I only did because I saw (at the time) 119 views, and that was amazing for something being on the boards a few days with only a few replies. LOL

My2Beauties replied: I didn't look at the date at first neither.

~~*Missi*~~ replied: Take me with you I swear i can go in there for like a picture frame or something stupid and come out with 50 bucks worth. My husband always goes i thought you only needed one thing. HAHHAHA he'll never learn

CantWait replied: How funny. I love those little parachute soldiers also.

Dh is worse then a kid when we go into Wal Mart. He goes straight to the toy section to see if they got any new die cast planes in. Our whole computer room consists of them. He also knows how to spend money in the $1 store. That is cute though. I'm sure they both had fun in there.
