Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down

[sal_amanda]

it's often amazing to me that any of us survived to adulthood. remember all those toys we had as kids that they banned or changed because someone might hurt themselves? we had lawn darts. can't find those anymore. playskool little people are not little anymore so kids can't swallow them. and now the latest abomination is the comeback of weebles. weebles were great back in the day. now they are, again, much larger than their former counterparts, and it's so unnecessary. i mean, they were egg shaped before. how the hell could a kid have swallowed one of those? if they did, they deserved whatever outcome they got for being so stupid. darwinism at its finest.

incidentally, john didn't know what weebles were. i know new hampshire was not in touch with the rest of the world (still isn't), but how sad to have not had weebles when they were cool.

i had a spoon and some tonka trucks and a pile of dirt outside my back door... i also grew up in a neighborhood of all boys... seriously... there was one girl... and we hooked up a couple times... first girl experience... until my mom caught us... that was no good... anyway... yes people are super paranoid about toys now-a-days bc our kids our getting dumber (get, it...)... i am going to let my kids play with sharp objects and tiny beads as to explain to them early on that while everything may be able to hurt you in some way or another, if you use your brain and dont fall on the knife you will be a-ok....
