Date: October 23rd, 2025 7:35 AM Author: Unhinged Know-it-all Theater Stage Filthpig Reminder: that was you being trained for consumerism. Completely ridiculous to tell 8-year-olds to bring their allowance to buy books. And they always set it up in the cafeteria or gym because they wouldn’t want to accidentally remind you that there were thousands of books you could just read for free in the library.

The next year she found out when my class was going to the “fair” and showed up in person to “help” for a bit so she could monitor my purchases.

Fuck I forgot all about the book fairs. Man so many good childhood memories that you don't even "remember" unless someone prompts you to evoke them |

Date: October 23rd, 2025 11:00 AM Author: Charismatic poppy plaza internal respiration The book fair was a lot of fun, and of all the consumerism to rail against, buying books is low on the list, especially on a board of scholars. However, the book fair now sells a ton of stuff other than books, like cheaply made plastic tools and sparkly pens, which I get annoyed about my kids buying in lieu of books.

This was in the early 90s. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5788928&forum_id=2Ã#49368282) |

I imagine it costs 3x as much now but it'd be great to give my kids allowance and let them go HOG WILD buying Dav Pilkey slop |

Date: October 23rd, 2025 8:24 PM Author: Hideous Abode The great new scam at my kids bookfairs is they wnt you to create a "Digital Wallet" where you preload the money on them and then they get a QR code.
I bet you can guess what happens to the "change" if there's money left over. |
