Black Friday Sales

This ad changed life as I know it...

It was Thanksgiving Day and Mommy was just trying to read the paper after lunch. I grabbed the toy pages and that's how it all started. See the top toy, circled above? It's a Polly Pocket collection complete with a carrying case. It has 5 Polly Pockets, shoes, accessories and clothes. It's just what every 4 year old girl dreams of.

Now I will admit, I don't own a Polly Pocket, I've never asked for a Polly Pocket, not positive what a Polly Pocket even is, but I knew as soon as I saw them I had to have them.

So I asked Mommy if I could have it. She asked me why I needed anymore teeny tiny dolls with plastic clothes that are impossible to put on and take off. I told her I needed it. So she said maybe for Christmas. But I let her know she had to go buy it because the elves don't know how to make plastic toys. She put me down for a nap and told to see if I still wanted it when I got up. So I took my toy ad to bed and while I was there I pined over the Polly Pockets and found a few other things I wanted too.

When I got up I let her know I still wanted Polly Pocket. In fact, I let her and Daddy know about a hundred times over the next 24 hours. At one point I told her I couldn't make it till Christmas without the Polly Pockets. I even shed a few real tears because I thought I was going to have to wait for Christmas.

You guessed it, I eventually wore Mommy and Daddy down. Mommy asked if instead of the whole Polly Pocket collection, what if she got me just one Polly Pocket to hold me over.

I thought it over and weighed my options and figured it was best to have one than none at all...

I then let her know that she had to go to the store that sells the kids clothes and by the checkout she'd find the little Polly Pockets. AKA - Belk... I guess I have seen Polly Pockets once before....

So Mommy took Grandpa to the airport and I took a nap. I told Daddy that when she got home, to leave the Polly Pocket in the box because I wanted to see the box. It was a great day when I got up - meet my new friend Polly Pocket...

Now you are probably saying Mommy shouldn't have bought it for me, she should have made me wait, but let me tell you - I have the Best Mommy Ever and I told her so over and over last night... So I got my Polly Pocket and she got to hear music to her ears.  In fact, I've dropped the "BME" a few times today too. It was a win-win for both of us.

Since Polly's been here, I had to give her a shower last night because she was dirty from being in the store so long. She had to have her own plate of snacks while watching the Hokies last night. Today was her birthday (she's 3), complete with cookies for everyone. The best thing about Polly Pocket besides that she has roller skates, is that when her head pops off you can pop it right back on. Can't do that with my princesses.

I just hope the elves get to making more Polly Pockets because according to Mommy the store is all out of the Polly Pocket collection. There are some lucky girls somewhere.
