Cairo recently gave me the title of the most awesome mom ever, why? Because I've introduced him to Voltron. It all started with a borrowed DVD from my brother, since then Cairo has been obsessed with Voltron.
"Mom I want a Voltron"
"I'm super sad because I don't have a Voltron"
"When are you going to buy me a Voltron?"
On and on he goes, morning after morning, day after day. For those of you who don't know a Voltron toy can cost up to $400 bucks. It's vintage and I'm not buying a $400 toy knowing it will be destroyed within minutes. The wonderful news is that Voltron was remade by NickToons so I thought "Great! They should have some Voltron toys for sale." Uh no....I've gone to every store every known to humanity and not a single one has a Voltron Force toy.
Finally my Aunt said "Why don't you tell them they've run out?". So I took her advise I told him Voltron is MIA in the stores....let me tell you. It was worse than the day I told him about Jose. So after that all I heard was
"Mom, now I'm sad about two things. Dad and Voltron"
"I can't believe I don't have a Voltron or my Dad"
So I made it my mission to find this child a Voltron toy for Christmas. I looked at every online store, Googled night and day and I finally came across a Voltron toy for my monkey on this website....they are sold out. I had finally given up until one day I mentioned to my co-worker how bummed I was I couldn't find a Voltron toy for Cairo. He did a Google search and low and behold he found one. He sent me the link and I bought it right there and then. Voltron has arrived and is patiently waiting to surprise Cairo on Christmas morning. Of course I can't tell Cairo that so I've been playing along with his own search for Voltron. Here is him after day 1 of trying to find Voltron:
Day 2 didn't look any better:
He's given up for now....but I just can't wait for Christmas to get here!!! I believe I shall be retitled as the Bestest Queen Mom of the world after he opens that last present.
