Silly Bands

Have you seen them? Chances are you have. You may not have realized what you were looking at, but it is the current craze amongst young people right now. At first I thought it was just elementary aged kids, but it crosses several age brackets.

Basically it is gel bracelets that are in the shape of almost everything you can imagine! Disney characters, sports teams, words, animals, instruments, etc. Some even glow in the dark. They are all the rage right now. I was at a conference this past week in Louisville called LIFE conference with 6,500 high school students and I saw them everywhere. You can pick them up almost any place you can spend money. I picked up a few at a gas station for my kids. Then my nephews had hundreds of them including a dreaded Yankee one. Ewwwww! I will have to see if I can find a Red Sox one soon.

I then read an article on line that mentioned that some schools are banning them because they are cause for fights and distraction. It's crazy. Do you have any of them? If so, what kind?
The Mickey and glow-in-the-dark dinosaur are upside down. oops.
