bubbles and sidewalk chalk

What kind of toy department carries bubbles all year long but not sidewalk chalk? that is crazy talk. "Sorry, sidewalk chalk is a seasonal item." Since when? As far as I can recall sidewalks are year-round, so why not sidewalk chalk? There is something terribly wrong with that. And to think that bubbles get to be a staple but not sidewalk chalk. Don't get me wrong, thank heavens that bubbles don't get thrown into the 'seasonal' category, that would just be abominable if they were, but think about it- in my mind sidewalk chalk and bubbles go hand in hand they are both experienced by the same age group in about the same season. If your kid likes bubbles buy him some chalk and he will enjoy that for a while and vise-versa. So if you have not yet grasped my frustration no store should offer bubbles for kids when it does not offer sidewalk chalk. They go together like salt and pepper, Thanksgiving and turkey, or like Elmo and his crayon. Keep 'em together and everyone stays happy.
