Wednesday Worsts....Toys

[gingerlover]

You build things FOF your four year old? Why not just let him exercise his imagination and build whatever comes to mind?

Because he is a demon that wants the car like on the box only to destroy it.

I wasn’t necessarily opposed to Tinker Toys. But I used to hate the commercials or the smug-face kid on the box showing these massive creations that had all these extensive moving parts. I admittedly wasn’t an engineer, but the suggestion that these fellow 6 year olds were building windmill generators and moving vehicles with them, while I’m building a non-working seesaw, was infuriating.

Terrible. Maybe a connection or two before it broke. Every time.

Odd... my mom connected with my ass EVERY time!

You might want to check in on the "parenting" thread... just sayin'

Journalism then economics. It’s been a challenge.

So is he just like his daddy? Or more like his mother?

Mom. Not close.

Damn things were brutal to the arm.

Mrs. Nalt has a set of Clackers... My dad bought my brothers and me a set when they were popular. They didn't last long...

Mine too, but she cheated. She stapled the elastic string to my ass so she couldn't miss.

Hmmm. He may have been trying to cut down on the food and college bills. I remember some wayward gaucho trying to kill the Rifleman with a pair of those. Come to think of it, I once got a set myself and my mom was really mad at me at the time.
