For Christmas, Grandma Betty gave Ben a chocolate lab Webkinz. Subsequently, Ben’s been able to play with Buster online at Webkinz.com. Ben likes play the Wheel of Wow, look for a gem, gaze in the Wishing Well, make glop and feed the glop to Buster. All this costs money and Ben’s not quite old enough yet to understand the jobs at the Employment Office or read to answer the questions at Quizzy’s. What’s a boy to do?
Enter Mom and Dad. Mike and I have become pretty much addicted to this site. I log in to do the jobs, tend the garden, and play Atomolicious, the Card Challenge, and Hide-n-Skunk in the Tournament Area. I was taking classes at the Kinzville Academy but it was taking up too much time and cost money to do versus earning money. Mike likes DiceKinz and Home After Dark.
On a side note, splurging on Buster online has decreased the number of impulse buys (and then returns) I make in real life. To show for it, Buster’s got a pretty sweet abode complete with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, entertainment room, storage, and a backyard.
I found out this weekend we aren’t the only adults on Webkinz. Our friends actually have separate accounts whereas we share ours. For all you parents, no we don’t accept friend requests from your children, especially after they quit a game before it’s over.
