Are you feeling out of touch with what's hot in the elementary school scene these days?
It's
Silly Bandz.
Silly Bandz and their ilk are all the rage at my kids' school right now. Their friends at other schools around town are also nuts about these things. So I just did a quick
Google news search, and see that it's a phenomenon that's sweeping the nation. Now you know.
What are Silly Bandz? Rubber bands in different shapes. You trade them with friends, and wear them on your wrist.
Yesterday, after about two weeks of hearing about these things, I learned that at least one teacher has announced that he will confiscate any that he sees, the trading and bickering over them is too disruptive.
That is all.
