So the other week, we bought our son the following toy:
He's really been into electronic toys and the alphabet lately, so we figured it would be the perfect toy.
His reaction? He closed the screen. He still wants nothing to do with it.
So I've re-appropriated the toy as my life coach.
How?
If you hit a certain button enough times, the computer says, "Your blog is awesome!"
I've damn near worn that button out.
P.S. In addition to "Your blog is awesome," the thing also says "Let's IM later." This toy is marketed to kids that are 3-7 years old. What 7-year-old kid knows what the hell a blog or IM is?
