Granddaughters' new toy dilemma

[biggs682]

As a dotting grandad you can imagine my joy when I saw this toy in local B & M , I think it would be a great toy . But both grandma and my step daughter say NO .

What an excellent toy. Buy everyone in the family one

Get it for yourself, you know you want to.

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Put it on the bike, better than a bell

Don't forget to buy a toy drum as well, hours of entertainment.

Trumpets are good as well!

Avoid recorders though - otherwise you might face a charge of crimes against humanity.

There still lurks a recorder at the very back of the tallest, dustiest and least visited shelf our house has. It has been there since I decided enough was sodding well enough! I'm not that good of a father!

I'm going to leave it there for future house owners and archaeologists to ponder over.

Ignore them! It is your solemn duty as a grandfather to buy unsuitable toys. It's also your way of getting revenge on your children...

I bought little Jude (3 year old) a plastic trumpet. His mum was pulling her hair out after just 30 minutes. Next time I visited it had mysteriously disappeared!

Nothing is as bad as a Saxophone though - Like bloody foghorns those things! I played the Clarinet which was probably bad enough, but it was NOTHING compared to having to sit next to a Sax being played in the School Orchestra. I probably could have sued for hearing loss!

'Sexy' my foot!

That is until you hear it continuing without the batteries!

 

[sight-pin]

Get her a set of drums as well

 

[Levo-Lon]

Oh yes thats on the shopping list..tho 2yr old grandson had a little dyson hoover for this weeks birthday???
He does love his mummy

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

When we were at school we had a trick which required a sweaty armpit and a hand......used to make a lovely noise and no batteries were needed.

And still a favourite of many a schoolboy up and down the land no doubt!

Or at the very least, teach kids how to make the right noises on certain floor surfaces using their feet!
