Yes, you heard right! World Cup Sticker Collection! You know the kind when you were young, you save up a few pennies, go to the MaMa shop to buy a pack of stickers for the album (football, Barbie whatever) and hope to get those you don't already have. And then trade/sell those extra ones with friends at school.
Of cos, he doesnt have time to complete them or trade stickers... so guess who has to do his "dirty" job? I mean, I can imagine myself doing this for my son in a few years' time but urm... collecting stickers for the husband??
So, the thing is, there is this google group network that I am on. Parents are writing in to other parents whose kids are also collecting and want to trade. And here I am, writing in to say I have stickers and I need stickers too (but they are for my husband)!
There is a 10 yr old boy coming later to "trade with me" and another boy who's mom has written to "chope" some stickers in exchange for some others that I need. And there is another parent who is holding a "WORLD CUP STICKER EXCHANGE GATHERING" at his house but there is NO WAY I am going to sit among little boys to look at stickers together - so I'm not going to that.
To make matters worse, the big baby is telling me that certain stickers are worth more ie. you can exchange for 2 or more for certain key players. So I'm supposed to tell a 10 yr old kid (whose mother will probably be next to him) "OH no! I should get more stickers for that one!" - Geez! What will people think? A young lady extorting from little boys?
So anyway, wish me luck. I know I need to make more friends here but not 10 yr old boys!
