[blparent] Christmas gift ideas for a 9-year-old girl

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

HI,
It's a Christmas present, not career counceling!  What 9-year-old wants 
museum passes or a job, especially one where they have to clean up poop! 
Besides, don't you think the things you're suggesting might be a little 
expensive? And lastly, education doesn't have to be found in everything.  if 
it's fun, and since it's a Christmas present, that's all tha maaters.
