i also think that is why my parents spoil my daughter, and i do too. i still make her take days off to use her mind, like we did as the "poor kids"...turns out all that time we spent writing and drawing developed one hell of a talent for my sister, who won a full art scholarship 2 years ago...

SOOO i nominate a box of 64 count Crayola crayons with the built-in sharpener! and a nice fresh coloring book...
That's funny. When I was a kid (back in the 80's) we would invent our own icecreams. We took vanilla icecream and put crushed up twinkies or snickers in them. Where would we be if we had a marketing team?
