Boys' Toys

Seth went up the street to play with his friend Paige today (she's in his kindergarten class). He arrived back home an hour later with Paige and Lauren (who is also in his class). Paige, Lauren and Seth tumbled into the house with Seth excitedly exclaiming that Paige had given him three toys (McDonald's Happy Meal toys, but still...). I turned to Paige.

"Are you sure you want to give him your toys, Paige?"

She shrugged with a disinterested look. "They're boys' toys."

Seth was just about as excited as Christmas morning--a dancing wind-up bee and two chattering skeleton heads.

The kids set up a "campsite" and then decided to rummage through all the sports equipment. Later I found what was left of a raquet handle sticking up in middle of the backyard. Good thing we don't have expensive stuff!
