I was at Rite Aid this morning buying the Air Wick candles that Sleeping Beauty told us about in an earlier post. I just happened to pass by the toy aisle and there it was...one lonely Air Hockey game perched on the shelf. And then I saw the sign...25% off select toys.
Young Jedi Pinch decided Sunday night that he wanted an Air Hockey game. He got some poster board out of my craft closet and drew a hockey rink on it. Then he got a quarter and two poker chips to complete his homemade Air Hockey game. (When I told Sleeping Beauty about it, she suggested that I give him my hair dryer to make air for his Air Hockey game. She is sooo funny!)
As Princess Pinch and the Young Jedi were playing his homemade game, he looked at me and said, "I know it's too late to ask for an Air Hockey game because I already gave my list to Santa." He looked so sad. It just broke my heart.
So when I saw that little Air Hockey game today, I knew I just HAD to have it. Well, today was my lucky day. The Air Hockey game was 50% off and I just happened to have $7 in +UP rewards in my coupon binder.
The final price: $1.07
The smile on a 6-year-old boy's face on Christmas morning: PRICELESS!
