These foolish things...

Scoubidous... The latest trend in the primary school playground, as i was informed by the girl i babysit for! They're really quite fascinating, and ive just spent an evening making one... whatever they are. i didnt want to ask, she already thought me stupid enough for not having made one before. The babysitters number one rule: to be cool!

There is always a craze in the playground, and they always get banned! Yo-yos, beads, pogs, Tamagotchis, marbles, hula-hoops, shrunken crisp packets, cats cradle, french skipping, conkers, Pokemon, transformers, sticker albulms, the snapping bracelets, multicoloured sherbert, oh and so many more!
of course they're all quite girly, the boys tended to have crazes like mercy, and chinese burns. i still remember the boy that gave me my first chinese burn... he was nasty! the experience scarred me for life!
