I don't like big, fancy toys.
Maybe that's cuz I grew up playing with Tupperware lids, Lincoln Logs, and mud. I'm convinced that my kids don't need toys with batteries, small parts that can get lost, remote controls, On/Off switches, or a price tag over $1.
I know, I know.
I'm anal, and my children are gonna have a complex.
Whatever.
They'll be creative and resourceful.
So when we went to Mama's (my mom) house last weekend, I wasn't too thrilled about this toy that she'd found for Geneve. I was really skeptical, so I gave it a thorough examination:
Batteries? No. Good.
Small parts? No. Awesome.
Remote control? Negative. Fabulous.
On/Off switch. Nu uh. Miracle.
Price tag more than $1. Yes. Garage sale find. Maybe $2. Acceptable.
The toy passed my rigorous examination. 4 out of 5. Not bad! Thanks Mom.
Geneve loved the toy, and I have to admit that I liked it too.
....as long as next time you get her a gift, it's a large, refrigerator-sized box.
Kids love those.
