Recently a 13- year- old girl gained support from celebrity TV chefs when she petitioned toy- maker Hasbro to create a 'gender- neutral' Easy- Bake Oven. After meeting with the girl, Hasbro announced on Monday that they will, in fact, make black and silver versions to appeal to both boys and girls. Now, the girl's parents can always brag that their daughter is responsible for the new toy your son is embarrassed to own.
Meanwhile, since being posted to YouTube, over 3 million people have watched the video of a golden eagle swooping down and snatching a baby in a park. Turns out that the video was a hoax created by 3 Canadian animation students. That's a shame too because the kid in the video would have had a heckuva story to tell.
And also as of this week, parents of a local high school student can tell the story about that time their kid managed to have an entire school evacuated because of what was initially reported as a homemade bomb. Turns out it was a firework, but why let the truth get in the way of a juicy headline? Whatever the case, the kid is in trouble and you can bet that his parents will be sharing that story until his dying day.
Today we wanted YOU TO FILL- IN- THE- BLANK: my parents always tell the story growing up when ________ happened to me.
