30 second Barbie Wannabe

Sometimes you gotta pay a little extra for the real deal.

99 cent Wannabe Barbie didn't last 30 seconds in the car before her legs fell off.

Imagine my daughter's devastation when she tried to take this wannabe out of the package and her legs remained in the plastic! "I don't want this stupid Barbie! She's got no legs now!" Then came the tears. I couldn't help but laugh. I had tried to explain to her that it wasn't a "real" Barbie and how she would probably lose her head if she tried to fix her hair.

By the time we drove the 2 minutes it took to get home

Poor Wannabe had not only lost her legs and her head but her arms as well!

I thought my daughter had learned a lesson about cheap toys

but when we went back to the store (they had bamboo for $1)

she wanted to try her luck on Wannabe Polly Pocket.

UGH!!!
I managed to talk her into some stale candy instead!
