Dear WTMs,
I journey once again into my love/hate relationship with Pottery Barn. Today's "PB vs Reality Moment" is Pottery Barn Kids Thanksgiving Craft.
Per the "PBK" website, those zany folks want you to spice up your kid's holiday table with homemade centerpieces! According to "PBK" it helps the children feel involved and gives them something to do!
I can't imagine a more stressful way to kick off the holiday than to give children glue and scissors before the Meal. White Trash Mom has some questions for the peeps at Pottery Barn Kids regarding the nifty craft idea:
- Who is going to take little Tommy to the ER after Molly pokes him with the scissors?
- If they kids want to be involved, why not involve them in cleaning the guest bathroom before company arrives? Guest bath is currently a Barbie pool so taking the naked Barbies out of the sink would be nice.
- If kids want something to do, why not have them help Mom and Dad with the Thanksgiving meal? Or at least get Uncle Bob a beer from the frig while he watches the football game?
- Glue before a meal? If they eat the glue, they won't eat their dinner.
- What do you suggest when the newly created centerpiece becomes a football?
- My nephew thought it would be funny to make the turkey anatomically correct. Would you like to take a photo of his centerpiece for next year's catalog?
- Do you have any other completely insane suggestions from LALA land?
