LOL!!!!
“Paying taxes is patriotic! I want a stimulus check!
Tickle me, comrade!”
Agreed.
My 7-year-old has always loved the most inexpensive & cheapest toys.... and my husband and I would never buy him such an expensive toy, even if he were kicking & screaming at ToysRUs.... if he gets a Nintendo DS or a VTech in the future, it will have to be with gift cards given by family members for his birthday and/or Christmas.
The doll is probably dipped in lead and says “Death to America. LOL
Did you see the cable coming out its back??
I’ll be suspicious if the description says “for bathtime fun”.
“Elmo can’t verify income. Give me a mortgage! Now! or I will sue you racist b-tards! ha ha ha.”
At least Elmo doesn't hide the fact that he's red.
Just put it on plastic.... the folks with enormous credit card debt are next in line for a bailout.
Yes!!! Time to short Mattel.
It depends on at least two factors. One is where the toy is produced. Another is the actual time spent by the child and the enjoyment thereof. Of course I know that you know the answers but for people like myself, I ask can we ever learn?
Years ago, I heard London accented women laughingly quip, that the child spent more time playing with the box the toy came in. Again, I would like to swap knowledge with others. I have an 13 month old grandson. Wife now doing duty as per usual.
The little chap was overloaded with bright plastic toys. Trucks, push button voices on a big layout- "lets get moving". A variety of toys and some with wheels- what more could a child want.
He goes to a VCR and pushes buttons. He goes to my computer and pushes the DVD button. He carries about a plastic real radio. After an intial interest in the bright toys- he just is not interested.
Well, at least the pleasure is in the giving, as well as helping the retailers.
Whoa there, my wife just told me the toys have to be removed from the child completely and then -Viola, a big surprise later..... (lol).
