We’ve all been there. You’re walking through Target with your kids when you pass by the toy section and before you know it, they’re asking for at least ten different toys.
If you’re feeling weak that day, you might give in, but what if we told you there’s another way? Mega superstar Pink talked with Entertainment Tonight at the 19th annual Desert Smash Charity Celebrity Tennis Event, and she explained that when her kids want a new toy, she makes them donate eight others.
They’re so thoughtful about it. You know, if you make the pile yourself of the toys that you’re gonna give away, all of a sudden, it’ll be the toy that they want to play with, [even though] they haven’t thought about it in five years. So yeah, we do one toy in, eight go out.
That’s a pretty great idea. We all know kids grow tired of toys quickly, so in this scenario, you can still buy them new toys without feeling wasteful. Just don’t let them watch Toy Story.
Pink shares two kids with her husband Carey Hart. And her oldest child, 11-year-old Willow, is already earning a paycheck.
Willow has a job on tour. We just had to go over minimum wage and it’s different state to state. I said it’s about $22.50 a show depending how long I go, if I run over. She goes, ‘I’ll take $20. it’s easier to do the math.’ I’m like ‘That’s not how you negotiate for yourself.’ I’m like, ‘You’ll take $25 so it’s easier math.
Dang. Pink is just full of good advice. Is it too late for her to be my mom?
