Are there actually people out there who buy stuff like this for their kids?

Those are awesome! I want to see the inside.

[djlindee]

Awesome, yes. But should any 4-year-old ever, EVER have a $19,000 gift? That's more than my annual grad school stipend!

[enigmae]

That would be a "hell no!"

[skaad]

Damn, the way real estate is going out here, maybe I should just plop that Victorian mansion onto the roof of my apartment and move right in! I mean.....c'mon, I can TOTALLY fit inside that thing!

[djlindee]

Hahaha, I have to say: that would be the cutest thing EVER.

Maybe Logan and I should get one for our alleyway so, next time you need to crash at our place, you'll have your own private space. :)

terrifying isn't it?

[djlindee]

What's more terrifying is that my immediate reaction was "No four-year-old deserves a $19,000 gift!!!!" while Logan's was, "I am *SO* buying that for my kids." Oops. Yet another reason for us not to spawn.

when i was a kid, i really wanted to live in a tough shed. i think it was from reading the boxcar children over and over again. i would've loved to have had one of those super expensive playhouses, but, uh, my parents weren't loaded and they were kind of sane.

[djlindee]

Yeah, I'm not saying I wouldn't have loved having one of those as a kid. I always wanted to have a clubhouse!

[willowstar10]

but yeah, they're kind of disgusting. seriously.

said in an old fogey voice:
when i was a kid, all i need was a blanket and a chair and i was happy for days. that's the only victorian mansion i needed.

Hehe, I was going to point out that I was happy making forts with my grandma's couch cushions. :)
