Bling

Maggie and I went to Walmart to check on the deals...and we needed some groceries.
She kills me. She likes bling. She will reach out of the cart as far as she can and 'uh uh uh' for very girly things. Today it was the big heart bracelet with Disney Princesses on it, there are 3 beaded bracelets all attached by this big gawdy plastic heart. So, for $3.50, she is one happy shopper. She also really really liked the Women's Elmo sweatshirt, the whole sweatshirt was red and Elmo's face took up the whole front, god awful ugly, only came in woman's sizes, I don't think Maggie appreciated that. I had to get her to want the Elmo DVD that was on sale, nothing blingy about the dvd case MomMom, duh. Then towards the front of the store was the container of Wet Ones that fits in your car's cup holder, this was a must apparently because it was yellow and pink, girly blingy enough for Maggie to want it. Hey, why not, can't have too many wipes.
Where in the world is she getting the blingy girly gene from? I couldn't be less blingy. I do earrings(small ones) and my wedding rings, that is as blingy as I get on a normal basis. I don't wear really girly clothes. No frills. Jeans and sweatshirts are how I roll. I guess Disney knows their stuff and how to market the frilly girly blingy crap, the more attractive it is to little girls like Maggie the more money they make...maybe she'll grow out of it, but I'm not holding my breath:)
(She slept with her bracelet too...so much for saving it for a stocking stuffer)
