Plastic toys

2 Feb

Mommy-to-be was all holier than thou with her “We will only buy non-toxic, eco-friendly wooden toys made from local Amish people for our little angel” declarations, made while downing her grande non-fat low foam decaf latte with 2 pumps of hazelnut syrup. Now you’re not even a year old, and her house looks like Fisher Price threw up its entire 2011 catalogue on her 10 by 12 foot living room floor.  Mommy can run but she definitely can’t hide from the rainbow-coloured explosion of plastic toys from China that’s invaded every corner of her home.  Yesterday, Mommy even spotted a shard of plastic nestled in your dirty diaper.  Besides worrying about the long-term effects of the polyutherane you’re ingesting, Mommy is too embarrassed by her hypocrisy to invite anyone over for play dates anymore.  And leaving the house to socialize is too overwhelming with the chronic headache she’s developed from all the off-gassing.

DRINK: China White. ½ oz white crème de cacao, ½ oz vodka, ½ oz Irish cream, served over ice with a splash of milk. Top with a dash of cinnamon.

    Wooden toys are eco-friendly, but they also leave a welt when they hit you in the head. Plastic prevents concussions.

    #30A when little boy gets older… The Lego which Imbeds itself in your feet ever time you cross the playroom, and causes you to hobble your way to the liquor cabinet…

    Wooden toys are specially nice since they are natural and organic. ^

    Wooden toys have continued to be a common part of childhood. By the 1700’s, German toymakers began to craft a variety of play figures from wood to sell to the general public. Salesmen would travel around Europe to market their popular wood toys, taking advance orders for special occasions. Almost life-like dolls and animals were becoming favorite playthings for children all over Europe.*
