I grew up during the Cabbage Patch years. Somehow I ended up with one, but don't remember if it was something I had to have or if I just got lucky. I've see the Tickle Me Elmo, Zhu Zhus, Beanie Babies and so many others come and go. The current Silly Band craze is the first in which I have had children who want the product and for once, I have to hand it to our culture and the many companies who manufacture the bands. I am so thankful that we have a "hot" item that is not in short supply and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The first time I saw the bands I thought they were for hair (my bad) but soon was schooled on the bands. They are fun and my girls enjoy seeing how many they have and trading for different shapes, animals, words, etc. The bonus is I don't have to wait in line at crazy hours to purchase it and they are easily affordable. Has the Silly Band craze hit your home yet?
