The kid’s birthday is round the corner – so we need to be getting some party favors but what to get can you get for a bunch of geeky kids around 7 yrs old? boys included of course. So while i was shopping for cheap health insurance , another mom recommended a website for me to get these star wars pens. These pens are for kids 6 and up and they are made with LEGO parts and can be mixed and matched to look different everytime you use them. The ink catridge is also replaceable – so yes a wee bit expensive – but definitely something for keeps.
So i was going thru’ some life insurance quote with my best friend and she had brought along their kid – so we were happily chatting about other things – and i was commenting on the transformer figurine that he had brought back from Japan – in which he retorted vehemently that it wasn’t a Transformer – it was a Gundam. Okkkkk.. I went – haha!! and explained to him that this old fart isn’t quite up to date.
So this 4 yrs old boy told me – that the Gundam is way cooler than the Transformer and went on a history about it. You see they just got back from Japan – living there i mean – and this kid had grown up with the Gundam. And there is a Gundam statue measuring 60 ft tall and weighing like 35 tons right in the middle of Odaiba – Tokyo. I hear that most of the male population in Japan is just crazy over it. You find the Gundam toy just about anywhere in Japan i heard. So the next time you head out to Japan – look out for it.
