A GAZILLION Bubbles®
I don't care how old you are; everyone should have toys. And I have now experienced the toy that every single World citizen should own. It's the Gazillion Bubbles® Jumbo Bubble Machine made by Funrise Toys®. My Mother purchased it at Costco, which is the best way to go, because not only do you get a great price there, but you get BONUSES, too (I love bonuses).
It was a present for Leif, who was having a sleep-over at our house a week or so ago. We set it up on the outside on the patio. This device purportedly would make "a gazillion bubbles" while making ENORMOUS bubbles within bubbles. Mind you, I am very skeptical of exaggerated product claims, but once we successfully set the thing up and turned it on IT STARTED MAKING A GAZILLION BUBBLES. Huge bubbles, small bubbles, bubbles within bubbles - streams and streams of bubbles.
Suffice it to say, Leif and I were BOTH vastly impressed. Obviously our mission was to destroy as many bubbles as possible. Leif, at one point, decided that we should each have "ten powers." However, when he to his sixth power, he decided that we should have "six powers." I opted for five - my first power being "poking" (okay - not so violent, but nonetheless effective). Leif's moves had a real Taekwando flavour to them - very athletic. But lest you think I was PURELY wimpy, one of my powers was a VERY cool two-handed swooping move.
Without a doubt, we had a BLAST. Leif took the Gazillion Bubbles® Jumbo Bubble Machine home (I tried to be brave, but as the machine got farther and farther away, a single, noiseless tear trailed down my face).
(At Janet and Erik's house, DAMN THEM)
I told my Mom that we need to have a Jumbo Bubble Machine at our house. I stressed that it was VERY IMPORTANT to our health and well-being. Also, owning this apparatus is essential to our future as SCIENTISTS (what with the surface tension and such). I hope she grasps how serious this issue is.
Thanks, Jared and Nancy, for the picture. Credit is better than permission, yes?

or you could just buy one yourself... why yam i reminded of me trying to get a cell phone from MY mother? and you're how much older than me?
Perhaps I did not make it clear: We need one for the HOUSEHOLD. I could buy one for myself, but that would be very selfish.
And I am a billion trillion years older than you. Plus or minus three.
Thank you for your product recommendation. I had seen this gizmo at Costco a month ago, thought about it, and decided it would probably be worthless. After your pics, etc, you enticed me to buy one and my children were in bubble heaven this afternoon, thanks to you. A fabulous purchase! laura
Isn't it the best? My Mom bought our "household" one today and we just unloaded it from the car. Even thought it's dark, I am a LITTLE tempted to hook it up, but I GUESS I'll wait.
They've used theirs so much at Janet's house that she's going to order the ac adapter to cut down on battery changes.
It's like The Lawrence Welk Show, on-demand!
Now that's an oxymoron...
