Sally's Journal

Are all the octonauts produced in equal quantities? Often with children's characters, some are more popular than others and those are produced in greater quantities.

Also, this reminds me of a time when I was small and wanted charmkins, and my mother and aunt, going out shopping, said they would buy me one charmkin, and which did I want (Blossom), and (in case they didn't have her) which would be my second choice (Brown-eyed Susan)?

But as a Lovely Suprise, they in fact bought me both. And although I was grateful, I was also really sad, because why on earth did they assume that the Charmkin I wanted should Blossom not be available was the same as the Charmkin I would want to go alongside Blossom? In fact, I definitely wanted a humanoid Charmkin followed by a non-humanoid Charmkin, and having two humanoid Charmkins was (for reasons I cannot now remember) no better than having one humanoid Charmkin.
