"She wants a big eyed freak from Zoo Zoo. She is no longer collecting Webkinz and has moved on to these. They are these Russ Stuffies with giant eyeballs. They are about $15.00. She was just there and saw them. She wants the elephant, the mouse, or she said there was a bear she liked there too.
Those are some ideas. She hasn't asked for much else. Other than them, the skateboard.
Later gater"
It seems I did not read this email in great detail. I was mainly focused on remembering "Elephant or Mouse". I decided to go to the mall and buy her birthday gift today. I walked into Zoo Zoo and wandered around looking for these toys. The owner came up to me and asked if I needed help. So, I asked him where the "Big Eyed Freaks" were. He said he didn't know. He had never heard of them. I said my niece had wanted one for her birthday. He thought maybe they were a new up and coming toy and offered to look into them for me.
I thanked him and wandered around the store a little more. I decided to call my sister to figure out where to buy these things.
Me: "Hey, where do they sell those Big Eyed Freaks?"
Her: "Zoo Zoo"
Me: "No, I'm at Zoo Zoo and they don't know what I'm talking about."
Her: "Please tell me you didn't just walk in there and ask for a Big Eyed Freak"
Me: "Um. Yes, I did."
Her: "hahahahahahahahhahhahaha"
Me: "................."
Her: "That's not what they're actually called. Avery just calls them that."
Then we were both cracking up. I had to go back and explain to the guy that there is no such thing as a Big Eyed Freak. Which may only be funny to me and my sister. But when Avery hears this, she is going to LOVE this story.
And she better like the damn elephant too.

I want that elephant!!!! Sure she will love it!
Funny thing is....I knew exactly what she was talking about. Damian has the giraffe.
This just had me cackling out loud. BIG EYED FREAKS! You went to the toy store and asked for Big Eyed Freaks?! :)
I was laughing so hard Joe was like, "What's so funny over there?"
I said, "That Sara is the funniest girl I wish I knew in person."
