Weird Searches

My daughter was searching on Amazon, her preferred mode of shopping, for a birthday gift for her friend.  When I go on Amazon, I type in stuff like “Man Vs Child: One Dad’s Guide to the Weirdness of Parenting” (natch).  But my daughter, not having anything specifically in mind, was searching in the most I-don’t-understand-the-internet ways.  The search terms she was using:  

“sun glasses cool”
“later gun kawaii” - Supposed to be “laser gun kawaii.”  “Kawaii” means “cute” apparently, but I probably don’t have to tell you that, Tumblr.
“mysterio cheap”
“squishy fancy cool”
“cool laser gadgets”
“cool fancy for girls”
“cool fun for girls”
“cheap stuff” - best part was the results included both a “4 ½ inch Folding Tactical Knife” for $6.95-$981.50 (quite a range, and no I am not linking to it) and a $620 beanbag chair
“cute and fun silly”
“chill pusheen” - let me recommend to you the adorable I Am Pusheen the Cat book that is better than it ought to be.
And of course, “Once Upon A Time Dark One Dagger” - which, let’s just say wasn’t going to be purchased for this birthday party.

Incredibly, we eventually found a couple of things in the cheap-cool-fun-fancy category of gift.  Maybe I should loosen up and let the Amazon search function do its thing more often.

Seriously, though:  have you bought my book, Man Vs Child:  One Dad’s Guide to the Weirdness of Parenting?  It makes a great gift!  Maybe not for an 11-year old.  And granted, it’s not a “cool fun fancy laser gift for girls.”
