The Retail Wish List of a 9 Year Old

We have a little boy who has always been quite particular in his toy selection.  If he’s given the green light to select something from the shelf, he usually will take 3 or so “finalists”, line them up side by side, then weigh the pros and cons until he decides upon the perfect selection.  Mind you this may change from one day to the next or even hourly.

Since it's 2012 and he has his own Iphone, Ipod, Android Tablet, etc.  I’ve given him access to my Amazon Wish List.  In the past few days, I think he has amassed close to 200 items!  Keep in mind, Amazon has a gigantic variety of items, and he may have selected inappropriate items (like a Halloween style rubber knife that appears to go through your head), some by accident,  or even some things that are not toys.  Good thing I didn’t show him how to finalize the checkout process!  

 

Nevertheless, I thought I'd share his list.  I found it entertaining to skim through.  It's fun to observe how his mind works.  When we came out of the theater, after seeing The Avengers, he said, "Can I use your phone?".  He preceded to search for action figures for the characters in the movie.  Yesterday, I noticed him writing what appeared to be letters.  He informed me they were actually invitations to some of his friends.  Invitations to join his squadron when the Airsoft Guns he "wished" arrive...

This list is a fun insight into the mind of a youngster, as well as a dynamic gift registry containing the popular items such as Beyblades, Pokemon cards, Action Figures, Army Men, and somehow recently, Air guns.  Oh boy.  


I'll likely use it each time he gets invited to a friend's birthday party.
