I'm not one for trends

I am not often the one to follow certain trends but I caved and bought a fidget spinner.

The funny thing that I have noticed as I get older I have often looked at some of the trends that the younger generation is trying to popularize and have thought, man, that’s stupid.

I can tell you one thing; I will not be wearing a romper this summer or any summer for that matter. If you are a grown man that can wear a “casual” onesie in public, power to you. But for one thing I can’t fit in a onesie and they look tacky.

Imagine me in a Malta blue romper. People would call me blueberry. I’m out.

What I am simply saying is not every fad is a good thing, but I may be able to get behind this fidget spinner thing.

It wasn’t my thing originally, but I went to Todd’s Technology one too many times and tried several of them. I went to that store five times before I finally caved. I bought an $8 fidget spinner.

The first couple of weeks I did not mess with it thinking I didn’t want my son to play with it because the edges are pretty sharp. One day PJ fell asleep and I started dozing off during a movie. It was a chick flick.

I went to my room to grab the fidget spinner and to my surprise it kept me awake.

It isn’t a daily habit but every once in a while I can’t resist the urge to spin it for a couple of minutes. Let’s be honest I would rather play with my fidget spinner than pick up chain smoking, chewing, playing bloody knuckles or stressing out about paying bills.

No I will not join Snapchat and put dog ear filters on a selfie of myself but I may be fidget spinning until the spinner I own breaks.

My mother and father bought PJ a fidget spinner for his birthday and eventually we may let him play with it but after a while.

Update: After watching a few sketchy fidget spinner fails videos, PJ may be about 18 before he gets to play with his birthday present.
