We found this Mad Scientist in the Cost Plus ad for $9.99. I thought - Great! Maybe I can pick that up for $10 bucks and make him happy. I told him, that if he really wanted to get it, he could buy it with his money.
He was definitely serious about this decoration. This morning he woke up & reminded me about the it once again. He went straight to his piggy bank and asked me how much he needed to take out. I said he could wait until after I pick it up, but only if I think it is worth it & not a piece of junk. At breakfast he got all excited when he saw the ad again.
Now, I have to break the bad news to him. I looked it up on-line & the item was actually on sale for $29.99. I even went by the store on my lunch hour & there is a notice of printing error on the door & by the item. I'm so bummed! This will break his heart! I can't tell him that I thought it was really cool too. But no, we didn't want to spend $30 on it! $10 would have been easy.
