I was doing laundry at my in law's home and decided to flip through the Sunday circulars.
Much to Amelie's delight a lot of the big "toy books" were included in the pile so we perused them together.
I was disturbed when the 2 page spread featuring "learning toys" included 20 different types of electronic games.
Every heard of a book Toys R Us?
I know...featuring books would be more appropriate for Barnes and Noble but I still find it a little shocking.
As if the page entitled "learning toys" wasn't horrifying enough we kept flipping to the board game page.
Board games--innocuous, right?
Wrong!
There was a section featuring *PINK* board games--you know....old favorites but in a pink box so that you'll be tempted to buy one for your daughter.
And directly under a sweetly smiling face of a young girl were her favorite games including:
Ouija...but in pink of course...cause that makes it ok.
Want to take a look for yourself? I couldn't save pictures of the flyer but you can find it here.
***And for something completely different***
My Aunt Judy is now a published author!
And of all things, she wrote a sweet little learning book!
Way to go Aunt Judy!!!!!!!
Ok...enough of my overly dramatic soapbox...I'll trick Amelie into saying something cute so I have a happy post later =)

I have an Aunt Judy, too. And she is the best ever. Not published, though, but still the best ever.
Have you ever thought of writing/illustrating your own children's book?
we saw that same game as hg was flipping through! we both commented on it as well-crazy isn't it?
i checked out the book-looks like a buy for us=) you know, we just don't have enough books in this house=)
Congrats to your Aunt Judy!
sandy--i've actually been planning on writing a children's book featuring the antics of my father--he belongs in the books! he is interesting to say the least =)
I bet she did that chicken book for you. We all know how much you love them ;)
I looked through the same ad but never noticed the headlines. I did see the pink ouija board and I wouldn't buy one of those things no matter what color it was! Never mess with a ouija board.
