My youngest daughter and I were cruising the aisles at Michael's (a.k.a. our second home, besides Home Depot and Lowe's, especially at this time of the year) and it didn't take long for me to remember why I try NOT to make it a habit of going into Michael's…with Hope…too much.
Her head starts to shake, then both of her arms begin to twitch and, I swear, you could almost hear the electrical wiring in her body crackle, as she starts to make a mental note of all the things we'll need, for all the projects that we could do.
Then something breaks in her brain, as it becomes all too much and she starts tossing random stuff into the cart.
"LET'S JUST MAKE ALL THE THINGS!!!!"
Pretty much like the rest of the free world, Hope is obsesssed with Rainbow Looms and she's been bugging me to get one.
Aaaaaaand, just like we are the ONLY family who has NOT gone to Disney, did you know that we are the ONLY family who does NOT have a Rainbow Loom?!?
"Well, then I think it's a perfect addition to your Christmas list."
Yeah, that went over just as well as you can probably imagine, however, I am also striving to become the meanest mom on the planet and probably have a HUGE head start on most folks, already.
"Can I at least have a bag of rubber bands, PLEASE?!?!?!?!?"
Fiiiiiiiiine, because saying "I SAID NO!!!" to a bag of rubber bands is not the kinda mean I'm striving for, don't judge.
"But don't you need a Rainbow loom?"
Translated in my youngest daughter's head as: I triple-dog dare you to PROVE ME WRONG!!!
"I don't NEED no stinkin' rainbow loom!"
Aaaaaaand, she did prove me wrong (I know, act surprised anyway 'kay?!?) and NO she does NOT get her nimbleness from me. Check it out:
Perhaps I should remind Hope that we are also the ONLY family who STILL watches a box television set; can't wait to see what the kid does with that, right?!?

Hope is a Rainbow Loomless rock star! And my youngest (11) started with the black signature color in kindergarten. The teacher used to save the black stickers for her. She and Hope would get along very well I bet.

OMG! That’s what a Rainbow Loom is! I had no idea. I refuse to watch any thing on it since I don’t see myself making these in the near future. I love that she did it without the loom (whatever that is). The bracelet is beautiful!
P.S. Michaels coupons are always online in their app. They usually have a 40% off coupon each week. 🙂 I know I spend quite a bit of time there during the holidays!

I love ALL THE THINGS about this post. Your telling of the story (and how her brain BROKE), how awesome your kid is for figuring this all out without the stinkin’ Rainbow Loom, your fancy schmancy video editing…all of it. Love.

She is so very awesome. My Katarina (whose middle name is Hope coincidentally) is hoping (Ha! HOPEing) for a Rainbow Loom for Christmas (Shhhh – don’t tell her her grandma already has one on the way), but has been contenting herself with loom-less bracelet making in the meantime as well.
Great video!!
Michaels is dangerous with craft-loving kids.
