 | do you recall… |
We are one of those freaky-weird families that has only Certain Kinds of Toys. You know what I mean. We mostly have wooden trains and waldorf dolls and whatnot; there are no cartoon characters or lights-and-sounds push button toys here. (Feel free to roll your eyes at me now. Or at any time, really.)
For Christmas, we received exactly one plastic, battery operated toy. It was a tiny remote-controlled helicopter, and it was for Dane. (And yes, it’s way cool—it lifts off right out of your hand! But we have no idea how to control the thing, so once it’s airborne it pretty much runs into the wall or gets tangled up in my hair and then crashes to the floor.)
Today we saw a notice that it has been recalled due to a tendency to SPONTANEOUSLY BURST INTO FLAME.
That’s all. I have no punchline. It BURSTS INTO FLAME. I think I’m going to put it outside now so it doesn’t take out my kitchen or anything.
oh, you’re so freaky weird. Yes. For not having the spontaneously combustible toys. Sheesh. I don’t even know how I hang out with you.
LOL! No punchline, just flames! Everywhere!
Wow. It bursts into flames? That IS way cool!
Are you sure that wasn’t a “feature?” And what’s the big deal, at least it doesn’t have lead paint
I’d totally late Cricket play at your house, that’s my kind of toy stock.
I know, that should TOTALLY have been listed on the box! Too bad you can’t control WHEN the flames appear! Well, unless you go the old-fashioned route and use a lighter.
We try to limit our brand name toys to Pokemon, but we use them in different ways.
Right now, there are twelve of them currently in the living room acting as disciples and one giant Piplup (that talks) that is standing in for God in Sunday lessons.
So, it’s not all bad.
Love that!
