Ivy-isms: Target
Ivy has been obsessed with Rainbow Brite for the past few months and has been begging for a doll. I've explained how hard they are to find and most people are VERY PROUD of them and want an arm and a leg for a crappy toy from the 80's. I promised her that if I ever found one in a reasonable price range I would get it for her. So I got really lucky on ebay last week and was able to give it to her as her Pre-K graduation gift. So while we were laying in bed the other night Ivy and I had this conversation.
Ivy: Mommy, thank you for getting me Rainbow Brite and her horse. I love them so much!
Me: You're welcome Monkey.
Ivy: I will be so excited when I get Patty O'Green and Canary Yellow dolls back!
Me: I know you will, but remember what I said about being more responsible for your toys.
Ivy: I know. I just want ALL of the Rainbow Brite kids.
Me: Well they are really hard to find sweetie because they are so old.
Ivy: Where did Maw find my Canary Yellow doll?
Me: She bought it from someone selling it on the internet.
Ivy: Who got me my Patty O'Green doll?
Me: Well your Aunt Shirley, Nana Hannah's sister, got you that when you were just a baby but I don't know where she bought it or who she got it from.
Ivy: Oh I know! She must have bought it at Target!
Me: No honey, they don't sell those at Target.
Ivy: I know they don't now because they are so old but I mean a long time ago when you were little and Rainbow Brite was on TV.
Me: Honey, we didn't have Target when I was little.
Ivy: WHAT?!?!? HOW DID YOU LIVE WITHOUT A TARGET?!?!?!?!?
