Heinous Truths

I learned a heinous truth yesterday.  Red wagons are expensive.  They aren't just expensive, they are priced out of reach for a lot of families.  

Cadillac Model but at least it is a 4 season model: Lee Valley Tools,



$195.00. Yowsers

Canadian Tire was out of Red Wagons,

  

if you went for plastic wheels, you could pay as low as $79 bucks.  Highway robbery.

And Walmart only had 1, a single season, just with tires model, for $149.00.  

There is something wrong with this.  Every kid should be able to afford a red wagon.  And if the cheap ones are going for 80 dollars, red wagons are way out of reach for a lot of people, a heinous truth of modern Canadian life.

At least most families can still afford a trike, $32.00

I came home with this one.

  

A fairly adult version, perfectly adequate, sensible even.  Sigh.

But I am thinking of painting it red.
