i got one of these as a gift from one of the people i work with.



and, even though i know how to open it (in theory)... it's just not opening!! i've even double checked my solution online. gaaaaaah. this thing is dreadful. hahaha. and i don't even know what she put inside :(

has anyone ever gotten this as a gift and succeeded?

no, but I want one. send it to me and I will tell you what is inside... haha
kidding, but seriously... are you sure she put anything in it? wasn't there one of these on Days years ago?

I GOT IT OPEN! okay okay... i didn't. but my bf did. let's just say i was being too weak. hahaha... and there was a $25 gift visa inside :D

i read on a blog that someone couldn't get it open & hers had $1,000 in it... the other version has holes to tease the recipient... that's unfortunate!

who had this on Days? by years ago do you mean before everyone's babies turned into teenagers and adults? haha

you should definitely get one!!!

yes it was back in the days of babies, I think some of them weren't even born yet, man soap kids grow up fast, one minute they are pudgy faced babies next they are knockin boots and makin more babies.

It was also back when I was watching it, so at least 10+ years ago... It also may have been on Another World which isn't even on anymore.

Do you know where she got it?

you can get it on familygamesamerica.com or google don't count on it puzzle and a whole bunch of sites are selling it...especially this time of year.

and supposedly it's also on target's website but i couldn't find it at target so maybe it's only online.

man, days used to be so good. i used to watch that w/ my mom when i'd get home from school. my mom and i even went to go see hope when she visited cal expo. i don't get how they could turn babies into teenagers just in an episode. maybe everyone else was too old to keep the ratings up.
