Sorry Kids, Mommy Doesn’t Allow Toys Anymore
Is this human freedom,
Hedonistic excess?
Junky consumerism,
Mass-production, toxic sickness,
Everyone is wearing now,
Plastic masks that they hide behind,
Marketing massive sales of nothing,
Everything is selling.~ Born Frustrated – Rancid
Is anyone else getting damn tired of “recalled toys, recalled toys, recalled toys” every 5 minutes? Cause I’m about at the point where I stage a boycott of every toy company there is. Though, I have myself to blame here. I’m the one who keeps going back to Not China Made every day to read what new toys to cross off the wish list. For crying out loud, not even a wooden coloring case is safe. Which kills my “everyone buy wooden toys instead of plastic” idea. :grumbles:
And in unrelated news my knitting class was canceled for lack of people. Dearest trying to console me by saying “It probably would have been just a bunch of old ladies anyway. Knitting isn’t exactly cool.” Is that a poke at how (un)cool I am?

Knitting is cool now so maybe if you don’t want to be cool having the class canceled is a good thing.
Knitting is very cool! Do not let your coolness be questioned!
toys are only as safe as the parent although there are only of a few of the recalls that i actually seen that would be a danger and those useally the newborn and infant toys that if u turned ur back on.. so its pretty much a judgement call on one self is these recall right for me and my kids life.
