Parents Talk: Have Silly Bandz Come and Gone?

Each week in Parent Talk, our council of experts will take your questions, give advice and share solutions. We hope it's a chance for all of the moms and dads in San Anselmo and Fairfax to share their experiences, thoughts, questions, and ideas. One reader asked this question recently of Ross Valley parents:

Silly Bandz: has the epidemic peaked? My daughter and all her friends were wearing the things every day, but now -- not so much. (Thanks god they didn't cost very much money!) I'm reminiscing now on all the fads that come and go -- pogs?-- or the more stable fads -- yo-yos, which seem to disappear and reappear every few years. Are Silly Bandz and all the copies just a one-hit wonder?
