Why llama shaving?

I got my first responses within 12 hours of publishing! Yahoo! What a thrill! To answer the question of the significance of 'llama shaving', I have this to say:

A few weeks ago, I was appealing to my OCD and making an official family wish list. I figured that after consulting the clan for ideas, I would post our wish list somewhere we could see it regularly. My hope was that as my children and I earn our pennies we would consider the grander things to save money for rather than buy the latest and greatest tongue cleaner or the got-to-have-it speckled green lip gloss.

Upon soliciting my family for ideas I received the following answers:

A Wii
Seven Peaks Water Passes
A horse and carriage
Swimming Lessons
A pooper scooper for previously mentioned horse
A trip to Hawaii
A llama shaver

Adding to the humor of the situation was that my girls were completely serious. Even though every time I think about it, I laugh, if one of my girls wants to invest in llama shaving training I, of course, would not want to do anything to deter her. What ever feeds her zest for life ought to be something I at least know how to encourage. HOWEVER, she will need to wait until there is a place on our very own property we can stick llamas and their hair, fleas, eggs, etc. where only those who want to experience that kind of thing can go. Perhaps by then, rather than llama shaving their interests will evolve into something a little more conventional-like learning how to drive a horse-drawn carriage.

I prefer saving pennies for a Wii.
