Hey, I sell those things. I get to watch while Dad/Grampa argues with Mom/Grandma in the store before they even buy it. Whenever it looks like Mom's winning, I just rev the car and Dad starts drooling. I'm a mean salesperson. Who you kidding, Tony? We know who you bought the car for...

Yesterday we gave presents to the grandkids, Alec the two year got a doll baby stroller,a doll and Spider-Man.

I raised my eyebrows at that but he loved it. He apparentl is always stealing his sister's doll and stroller. He wheeled it around and called the doll "Baby."

The Spider-Man toy wasn't his, it was "baby's piderman."

He likes to wear his siters princess dresses and shoes. Sometimes I worry about that boy, until he sticks his toy M16 in my face and pulls the trigger.

I don't know which is worse!

Take it from the experienced one...or is that unexperienced......as long as the remote control car it's not so big that Alex can sit on the car and move it at the same time. Only then, is the toy dangerous! Trust me!

When I was kid you know what I had to play with? A "Hoot-de doo"!

Don't know what that is? It's when you take the cardboard roll from inside the paper towels or toilet tissue, put it up to your lips and march up and down the street going "HOOT-DE-DOO"!!!

I think the "toy" that lasted the longest was when we got a new refrigerator and I got to keep the box!

It started off as a big clubhouse. Then after while we cut one of the sides off, drew a steering wheel on one of the sides and it became a "duden" car because we would sit in it and go "duuuuuuden, duuuuuden, duuuuuuuu(that was the down shift)".

When the box finally fell apart, we drew a circle in the middle and had bug races. It sucked to get stuck with a ladybug.

Remember when kids had imagination?

Tony,

You need to learn that education toys have improved considerably since your kids were born.

For example, we get our six year old this block of frozen clay. Inside the clay was a complete plastic fossil of a dinosaur! Your child would be able to discover the joys of being a paleontologist! This is great, it comes with a tiny little brush and excavation tool. It's hours (literally) of fun...for me. Knowing my son is quietly grounding down inches of clay in the hopes of finding a dino bone while I watch college football...this is the gift that keeps on giving.

You had a stick? My family was too poor for that. My only toy was a bucket of dirt and a bucket of water. After mixing the two my cousin Russell would beat me up and take the buckets. Then my cousin Mickey would beat me up and take my mud.

Those were the good old days.
