Are you kidding?

Today while I was on my way to visit the doctor and find some kitchen string (at last!), I walked past a hairdressers. They were offering a "Princess Pampering Pack", which of itself isn't too drastic. But this was for girls (the model looked around 8 years old). The package offered a shampoo, cut and blow dry, as well as a mini manicure and mini pedicure. All for A$44.95.

I was bemused. When I was 8 I climbed trees and could barely sit still long enough to have my hair brushed. Was I just a weird kid or are there really children out there who naturally long to have a pedicure and just can't find a place that will take them seriously because they are too young?

The world is quite mad.
