My daughter used to play club penguin and now webkinz… and I completely forgot that I subscribed her to the premium sub for 6.00 a month and now she isn’t playing lol. I need to go cancel that! Thanks for the reminder on that! But I had to laugh because my daughter decides what to play depending on what other kids in her class are playing.

In fact I was surprised a couple months ago when she was still playing club penguin to go into her room and find that her whole class had set up a meeting in club penguin to hang out! Like 27 kids age 11… set up a penguin meeting! It was amazing. They were giving tours of their igloos and showing off their items.
