My mom refused to get me one when I was a kid. They'd advertise them on television before they got taken off the shelves and I'd always bug my mom about one. At first she would never tell me exactly why she was so opposed to getting one, because she'd be really dramatic about telling me no. It wasn't the type of 'no' one would get if they like, asked their parents for ice cream for dinner. She would just give me this look of terror and tell me she never wanted one even in her house and to never play with one at my friend's houses.

n.n It was lovely chatting with you! Later days~
