Sticks, Boxes, and Glubs ( I mean Gloves)

I probably should have informed you all before Christmas – before you spent hundreds on toys and games- but sadly I forgot. I am reminded every birthday and Christmas of this fact.
Kids don’t need toys.
No s*&t Sherlock. In fact this year the Toy Hall of Fame recognized this fact, after years of Atari, Mr. Potatoe Head, Etch-a-Sketch, Barbie, Hula Hoops, and Lego – they inducted a stick into the hall, to sit side by side the cardboard box (the box was the hit at this event).
Perhaps next year they will induct – “the glove” – or “glub” as my son calls it. “Glub Ball” – a great sport where one throws a glove back and forth between two or three individuals. This was the hot game this holiday at Bobbe and Papa G’s house. Even Lightning McQueen and a snazzy new Porsche couldn’t compete with the rolled up glove. Bear enjoyed this game so much he made sure that Bobbe gave him one glove, rolled up – to take home. Good thing she buys cheap gloves, it will make the parting a bit easier.

Oh, and next year – can you remind me of this? So that I don’t buy any more toys….
