About Me

i am the girl that can talk for hours about science fiction. i order a big mac, fries and a DIET coke. i leave my car windows open but lock the doors. i am a natural athlete, yet i cannot get a child-proof cap open without help. i am smart enough to build a nuclear reactor, but i still tie my shoelaces togther sometimes. i am routinely outsmarted by small appliances. i trip over "watch your step" signs. i had once believed the swiffer to be the pinnacle of human acheivement, but then i discovered mashed potatos in a bag....... i laugh too loud, i drink too much and i love too deeply.

*thinking* now..let's see..29.98 in Canadian dollars is about 26.50 in U.S. dollars...hmm...so if i don't spend money on...then i can afford...
Conclusion: it's just not worth it, they must be on crack
"My Breakfast Table"...Are good old wood tables not good enough or what? ;)
What I wanna know is who comes up with all of these odd children's toys...:P honestly, is there some person who sits around all day and then suddenly thinks "Aha!! I've got it!! My Breakfast Table will be sweeping nation, no, the world!!"....
You're right, the only possible explanation is they're on crack....
exactly! i am trying to picture bruce's son saying "pleeeeeeease dad!!! i REALLY want a breakfast table for christmas! all the cool kids have one!!!"
its just not working for me.
You're right...I cannot picture someone saying that either....I just don't understand...
Does it come with the Queasy Bake Oven?

Hmmmmmmm. I am not buying you one of those. I know whatyo uare hinting and NO, it wouldnt look good on your back porch!
It's just a precaution. Saves someone getting sued. Kid's of today can't be trusted with a real toaster and will never know the joys of sticking a real knife into a real toaster to make real sparks or adjusting the timer to make real smokey toast.
On the other hand, imagine if we gave our kids toys that required them to creatively interact with other real kids and develop practical skills and stimulate individual thinking. Wouldn't that be a radical idea. Imagine a world where kids actually knew what a breakfast table was and how to sit at one......
Then again it's more likely that they will learn to smoke crack before that happens unless they release "breakfast table" on PlayStation.
You never played house as a kid, did you? ;) :D
This is not the kind of toy that kids ask for. This is the kind of toy that parents buy because they can't afford the ones that kids ask for.
*laugh*...I did that once....made burnt toast....(I never did that again as I had been forced to eat a piece of my wonderful toast {yuck}..)
*stares aimlessly into the distance*..but I never, stuck a knife into a toaster..no...of course that wasn't me..It was my "invisisble friend"...*averts eyes*...
Did I mention mud cakes and muddy water tea ... mmmmmmm delicious
(Note to amackid - age appropriate toys my dear - when they ask for GTA-San Andreas for PS2 - resist!!)
