Cereal trickery: Kellogg Fruit Loops

Mr6 went with his BioMom to the supermarket the other day. She bought him this cereal to avoid embarrassing temper tantrums in Aisle 32 Dry Cereals. 
Please examine the trickery on the front of the box:
exhibit A


My Mr6 actually thought he was going to be the lucky recipient of some HOT TOYS. He really REALLY thought there was a HOT TOY inside the box of cereal.
     I had to break him the bad news by reading him the fine print on the back of said box.

Much later that night, Mr6 and I each enjoyed a bowl of cereal. Just watching him eat is prize enough for me.

All I want for Christmas....

Christmas is just a few days away and already I'm itching to disassemble and pack away the tree, ornaments and all.
My Mr6 is obsessed with these ugly little things called Bey Blades.

There is nothing new under the sun. When I was a young girl back in the day when dinosaurs still roamed the earth, I had a short-lived obsession with tops. They were made of wood, and you had to wrap a long string around it. Then, with a quick snap of the wrist, your top would go spinning like..., well, like a top. 

Since I am now oh-so-wise, I know Mr6 will soon tire of these annoying little Bey Blade thingies. Thank goodness I bought a few on sale at Target. 
Now where did I put that big box to store away the Christmas tree....
