I guess you get what you pay for.
Trevor got to choose one thing from Dollar Tree last week. It was one of those little things that you put in water and it's supposed to grow. I figured Trevor would get a kick out of dropping it in the water and watching it grow, so I pulled out the camera to catch it all. Here's what happened:
As you can see, nothing happened. I had expected it to grow right away, but I could practically hear crickets chirping as we waited. I went back inside and read the package again: "Will grow over the next several days when submersed in water." Well, wow!!! How fun for a child to have to wait more than 96 hours to see any change!
It gets better. As you can see, after 7 days it had doubled in size. 
But by then it was so water-logged that Trevor had it in his hand for 30 seconds before the head fell off!!!
Trevor tried to fix it...
...and then resigned himself to the fact that there was no fixing his little friend.
Cool toy, Dollar Tree! :)
That was so stinkin' funny. Rick and I laughed until tears rolled down my face! I hope you don't mind if I post a link to this.
