The kids are playing Polly Pockets. When they do this they wheel and deal. They grab the stuff up and that's what you get. Then if you want something someone else has, you make a deal with them. Cman always has lofty goals. So he doesn't get as many deals made. I was impressed with the most recent deal he made.
There was a Sea Doo by Paige and he grabbed it up (this was well into the play time, so it probably belonged to Paige already.) Paige and N were working together so he started talking it up. Oh, look at this it's got a motor. It's pretty cool, I can't believe no one wants this? He talks about how nice it looks and N takes the bait, "Fine what do you want for it?" He started out big, "Help me make my place bigger and nicer." N replied quickly "no." Then he starts talking fast, "fine, what about...." He lists one thing after another getting turned down until he finally gets her to agree to trade the Sea Doo for 2 big mirrors off her house. Deals are being made left and right and occasionally taken off the table when someone feels that it's a deal gone bad! :)

For $500...I will complete the phrase...
"What is Polly Pockets"?
-
Polly Pockets are tiny dolls about the size of your finger. They have their own furniture, doll house, pool, mall, vehicles, etc. Realestate is prime in Polly Pocket play.
They also come with about a billion tiny shirts, pants, shoes, etc that are rubber and you have to try to slide it on the body or off to change their clothes.
I remember commercials for Polly Pockets when I was a kid. I never played with them, though.
maybe C-man should be encouraged to go into Sales/Business : )
My brother "Grogan's Goat" use to get the neighborhood kids to mow the lawn when it was his turn. We never knew how. He now admits to plying them with our Dad's homemade apricot wine.
Play time is all about wheelin' and dealin'. My parents said I liked to order everyone around when I was little. I don't recall this. I am simply enthusiastic. You be Barbie, and I'll be Red, and you come over in the car...
N is so the orderer. She has a plan and how it should be executed and if I say, N they can do what they want her reply is always "But it won't work that way..." Usually she's playing with kids who defend her! So I stopped interferinig, I guess some people like to be led? I would have never made it playing with her! :)
