Went Christmas shopping for the little "darlings" this weekend. Didn't actually get much but I did notice, things have changed since I was a kid. Everything is designed to stimulate the underdeveloped noggin of these kids to the point of actually placing" anti-seizure" warnings on stuff. Some other stuff caught my eye too...
G.I. Joe has obviously been taking steroids since I last saw him.
If it doesn't move by itself, you're kids won't like it.
Kids only get Tinkertoys if they're bad. I got them for bein a good boy.
Toys R Us doesn't sell Big Wheels or Green Machines.
Way too many toys are "collectors editions". Can we play with 'em?
Everything has some assembly required. I guess"made in China" means "you do it".
Lincoln logs are hidden in the corner on the bottom shelf. They suck anyway.
"Pong" was only for rich spoiled kids. Now there's a whole electronics section for rich spoiled kids.
Our kids can't get the recommended daily allowance of lead by chewing their toys.
They actually make a doll that takes a dump. Oooh what fun for your little princess.
......silly putty still tastes the same.

I know what you mean. I used to have a wind up Evil Knievel stunt motorcycle. Now I can't find it anywhere. Due to recent events, it would probably be worth a lot right now.
At least they're still making toys! But I think you're right about the "collector's items." Maybe that explains why the only thing left in the whole wide world to play is video games. ;)
Yea, I'm a single dad, too. I feel your, um, joy! Enough to plant your blog firmly onto my blogroll. I'll be back!
