The Toys are Back in Town: HELP

Do NOT get me wrong. I love my daughter. I want her to have everything I had... I'd say & more here but:

There's no need for her to have things I didn't b/c I really truly believe that as I was a spoiled only child (VERY SPOILED) she should not want nor need anything I didn't have growing up. I remember having my bedroom & a playroom.... I HAD IT ALL & I am okay with this.

 However, while I remember having LOTS of toys one or both of these two things HAS to be true... Either


  1. My mom had me so well trained that I kept my playroom impeccable on a daily basis.
  2. I was never allowed certain, shall we say, the detonative ticking bomb toys... you know the ones: they come neatly packed into containers. Containers your child only has one thing in mind to do with: DUMP THEM OUT & spread the contents as wide & thin as possible (like shrapnel) so that the feat of putting them all "away" seems akin to climbing Mount Everest.

I'm going with both for the time being or until Mom tells me otherwise. 

Oh, Hi? Mom!? Yes, I do remember picking up my toys. Yes, I do remember having blocks.

Ok so I clearly need to be more on my game at making Ara pick up her toys. BUT...

Let's say, solely for the sake of argument (b/c surely I'm not THAT lazy of a mom... nor THAT mean of a mom) that, in the heat of frustration during a nap, I decided to pack up all the "eruption risks" & hid them in a closet. That should cut down on the overwhelming feeling of being hostilely taken over by inanimate objects... right?!  (no it doesn't)

Or! Let's say, you pack up over half of her toys that she doesn't play with in trash bags (even though you have no intent of donating or throwing them away... yet) You just want to see what a week without them would do. That should quell the fear?! Right!? (no it doesn't)

Okay, I did ALL OF THE ABOVE.... and the toys, I sh** you not, kept expanding! The toy box that closed after all of the "combustibles" were packed into the closet did not shut a week later! The toy box that shut after HALF the toys were bagged did not shut a week later! HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!? The toy box is not shrinking! She isn't getting new toys every week! 

There is only one explanation

ONE

Here it is...

The Chinese are invading the US by way of self cloning toys...

Its all I got....

PS Ara's Bday is coming up....

  1. Hahaha very cleverly done. :) Isn't it funny how adulthood makes you realize what a crazy amount of time your mom must have spent cleaning the house?! As the exact opposite of an only child (though still relatively spoiled), I remember getting one Barbie a week as allowance and it was always very fun for us.

  3. kuscheltier xxl Wow, cool post. I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article... but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though.
