I (actually my 6th grader) have a laundry basket full of beanie babies. But---- A funny beanie baby story.
In the heyday of beanie babies, I needed a pair of bunnies (I think they were Flopsy, Topsy, Mopsy, Lord knows what) for my god children for Easter. Sent the hubby to a shop in Newnan, Georgia because they had a shipment coming in. My hubby and 40 other women were literally instructed in their "Beanie Baby etiquette" by the store owner.
1. No pushing, no shoving
2. No tossing a BB to a friend
3. No hiding BBs around the store for friends to "find"
4. Only 3 BB's to a customer.
My hubby, was horrified, terrified, but he came home with Flopsy and Mopsy.
My God children are now in college. I sure hope they still have those dang BB's.
