May 19th, 2008 - Toys don’t come from Target, they come from garage sales!

Maggie likes to play “going bye-bye.” She’ll pick up a backpack, purse, or bag and tell us she’s going someplace, usually work. However, she just told me, “I’m going bye-bye to buy new toys at the Target.”

My response, “Oh, no! We don’t buy new toys at Target! We buy used toys at garage sales!”

Then we had to have a bit of a conversation about why. I don’t think she quite gets it yet…. I’m also surprised at her plan to buy toys at Target, as I don’t believe we’ve ever bought toys at Target for her. Or for anyone else while she was with me.

I think I need to start taking her to the sales. On the other hand, Saturday’s my day off, and it’s such a hassle having a 3 year old to get in and out of the car seat at every stop. But heaven forbid a child of mine things toys come from Target! LOL

    Oh, Maggies! Toys come from yard-sales AND FLEA-MARKETS.

    And ebay.

    But not target.

    OTOH, favorite sister, at least she’s not saying “Tiffany’s” yet!

    Great post! I live in Seoul, S. Korea so there are not a lot of garage sales, but I live near a thrift store and I get as much as I can from there!
