Webkinz Secrets

I thought Webkinz was pretty straight forward. You go in, you play games, you spin the wheel of wow, feed your pet, log out.
But noooooo. It's not at all that simple. There are secrets.
The first secret I found out about was that we get extra stuff if we click on the ads. The second secret I discovered today was that the little critters can cook food.
I asked my daughters about cooking. They said, "No". But when I asked them about the grill or the blender, they said they didn't have enough money to buy them.
So, like in the real world, the more money you have, the more secrets you have access to.
Webkinz imitates life, or life imitates Webkinz?
