Reminds me of some childhood experiences. One in particular where my sister and I found a table where there were ponies. Sister, aged about eight, and still really little for her age, basically climbed on top of the box to stop anyone else getting to them, while waving at me like a mad thing. So we got a lot of good ponies that day. But one of our local rivals was also lurking and while Naynie was all over the box, she was buying from another part of the table. She got an Italian heart Throb. And then waved it in my sister's face, as if to get her own back for Naynie climbing on the box to get to the other ponies. And the thing is, my sister hadn't been climbing on the box to get ponies for herself. She'd seen Princess Pearl in that box and she KNEW how much I had always wanted Pearl. She did it because she wanted to make sure I didn't lose out on getting Pearl. Because she did that, she didn't see Heart Throb till it was waved in her face in that really unpleasant and spiteful way. If Naynie had never seen it, it would've been ok, but it was done to make her see it. And it made my sister cry. Naynie wanted Heart Throb really bad back then, after watching the cartoons on video borrowed from her friend. This probably doesn't make sense to US people, where she's common, but you also have to realise that Heart Throb wasn't sold in the UK in any form, so it was the first and only one we'd ever seen. It wasn't one of those ponies that there'd be another one of the next week.
Yeah, what CloudyGlow says. I'm actually great at looking on the bright side, just not when it comes to seeing other people snatch G1 ponies from under my nose. There is absolutely NO bright side to that!
