| | | Toodles finished another school year, passed etc. and everything is fucking rosey. As per tradition, he gets to blow his allowance on something from the toy store. Off he goes with his mum. Three hours later, he's back with a huge piece of shit assault weapon-type thing that makes noise and has flashing lights and blah blah blah. Like...loud noise and migraine inducing blinking lights. I've made clear my position regarding toy weapons. Or weapons as toys. Needless to say, I was pissed...no, I was fucking pissed. Fortunately, it's another Chinese miracle, so it will be dead and useless within the month. Especially after I leave it out in the rain. £25 for this fucking thing.

| KK, I have a 4 year old nephew that has a strange fascination with those type things. I don't care for them either, but I've managed to ween him off the noisy and somewhat realistic looking ones by substituting the nerf ones instead. He prefers those now and I keep a drawer full of the foam dart things in the kitchen. Honestly, as much as I hate it, I would rather him shoot me or my cats with a ridiculous looking nerf weapon, than one of those stupid realistic looking chinese noisemakers. Instead of imagining bullets, he's seeing orange foam darts and no noise or lights, just the click of the gun mechanism.
