My wife likes them as much as the kids... loves the games on the web, btw, and she's sent one to her sister, so they send each other these gifts and messages....

Oh great, Beanie Babies with virtual reality. I'm just pleased that my kids have no clue what these things are. I hate fads. We purchased one of those tickle me elmos before the fad went crazy for my daughter. We could have sold the thing for a pretty penny but were so disgusted by the crazyness that we just gave it to her for Christmas as intended. Ever since parents nearly killed eachother over those Cabage Patch kids, I've been disgusted by these toy fads and refused to participate.
Setting her own fads was always Daughter's favorite thing to do when she was a young girl... Actually she still does it, just on a different scale... Once something catches on she usually finds something new...
