A $16,0000 WHAT?????

My friend was recently in New York City and walked into a toy shop to pick something up for her young son. As she was browsing around she noticed a little ride on convertable car with a price over top of $16,000! When she told me this I could hardly believe it...THAT IS MORE THAN I PAID FOR MY FIRST CAR!

It's so hard for me to believe that people would pay that much money for a toy for their child to play with for a little while and then chuck aside. I actually have another friend who is pregnant and she swears that she is not going to buy her children a single toy for Christmas, but rather get them pots and pans, homemade dolls and cardboard boxes to play with. I don' t know if I would go to either of those extremes...maybe just a happy medium!

The pots and pans don't sound too bad up against the $16,000 toy car...who knew!?!?!?!?!
