About those Silly Bandz . . .

Well, somehow I managed to delete the text part of my Silly Bandz post, so I'll try it again.
This seems to be the latest craze with kids of all ages!! The store where I work gets truckloads of them and can't seem to keep them in stock. Parents and grandparents shop for them during the day and then we hang onto our hats as droves of kids come in search of them after school in the afternoons! They are rubber bands, in many categories of shapes, which the kids wear on their wrists as bracelets (this makes it impossible to see the shapes, by the way). As soon as they take them off, they snap back to their original shape. Kids trade them and play with them, and teachers take them away. It reminds me of the Cabbage Patch Kids craze and the Beanie Babies craze and makes me ask myself, "Why didn't you invent them???"
