From Slap Bracelets to Silly Bandz



First of all, do you remember those slap bracelets that were popular in the late 80's and early 90's. I know I had a few! I swear everyone had one on at school. Until they were banned that is. Now today it's "Silly Bandz". For those of you that don't know what they are they are stretchy, rubber bracelets that are shaped like things (animals, sport figures, alphabets, etc. When you put them on you can't tell what shape they are until you take them off. I was first introduced to those by my Sister-in-Law. She said all the kids are crazy about them and she gave my kids some. They wore them a little but since they aren't in "real" school they haven't really realized just how "cool" they are. Today on Yahoo I saw that they are started to ban silly bandz from schools since they are a distraction! Imagine that! When I read that, it made me remember when Slap bracelets were "the thing" and how horrible it was that they were banned! I'm sure there are MANY kids out there SO terribly upset that silly bandz are banned from their classroom. Oh to be a child again and only have silly things like this to be upset about! LOL!

That's funny-I picked up some slap bracelets for my 3 granddaughters at Easter time. It is the first time since the 90's that I have even seen them. The girls thought they were SO COOL! Love the Silly Bandz too...and such harmless fun!
