Those zhu zhu hamsters

Are you out there this Black Friday trying desperately to find the zhu zhu hamster?

If so, join the crowd. Reporter Jill Rosen tells us that every kid wants one.

Except, thankfully, for mine. Even after seeing Jill's story this morning, my son and daughter had not added the little pets to their long Christmas lists.

I always wonder what makes a certain toy that year's craze. And it's so interesting how crazy parents become in trying to fulfill their children's wishes, even when it's nearly impossible to do. What's that about?

Let's get excited about something they're not even showing and can't even afford. Worth a try I guess.

as of now Zhu Zhu pets are hard to find at all, but fortunately there are some smaller retailers that still have them in stock
