It seems as though the credit crunch, subsequent recession and rising unemployment has trickled its way down to Christmas gifts for children. While opening Hula Hoops, Transformers, baby dolls and GI Joe's might be fun for kids, they're apparently sending the wrong message. What's important in today's economy is learning a trade and polishing your skill set until you can market that trade. Although I gotta question your parental skills when you're career encouragement is focused on your kids being janitors. Nothing wrong with being a janitor, but when you're a kid aren't you told you can be anything...even President? In the words of Boortz, I know everyone can't be a doctor or a lawyer...somebody's gotta fry the fries. I say if you're gonna lay this out there, your kid being a janitor and all, at least give him/her all the tools of the trade. Go buy thirty keys, a key chain, and a jumpsuit. BTW, if you buy this for your son and he smiles like this kid while he vacuums and cleans, you should've gotten the Barbie doll...something tells me he would've been happier.
