My only real problem with these fidget toys are they remind me of a character in a book I read. He stole a bullet from his step-dad and would carry it in his pocket and rub it when ever he got anxious. At first he would fantasize about fighting against terrorist who would take over the school, but by the end of the book he was fantasizing about shooting up the school himself.

Recently, I discovered my grandmother has a tick that's causing her her to rip out her hair. Maybe I'll buy her a fidget cube to keep her hands busy, since I don't want her to hurt herself with a spinner.

i, too, immediately make the connection between fidgeting with dumb poo poo in your pockets and school shootings

My son was all about these things. I bought him one and I have never seen him use it. I'm afraid he is too dull to be into fads.

he'll fit right in on SA once he fails to do anything with his life
