Baby's First Cubicle. Ah, yes. Why be outside, lying on your stomach in the clover with wrens twittering over your head, when you could be doing pretend spreadsheets, sending around pretend inter-office memos, and forwarding pretend email jokes?
Or, if office geek isn't really your bag, how about this?
I mean, I'm all about encouraging other people to do the housekeeping . . .
And why the heck does it say "Girls Only?" Son, put down that mop AT ONCE, and track some mud on the floor for your sister to clean up.
We gave away all our Little Tikes-type stuff when we moved from Tennessee to North Carolina. Having declared myself officially out of the market forever, I haven't exactly been paying attention to what's trending, as they say, in Plastic-Land. Now I'm afraid to contemplate what else might be out there.

PS: 6-year-old, her eye happening to fall on the image of My Cleaning Trolley: I want that.
8-year-old: We could get a bunch of those and play Dilbert.
Just what I was hoping for.

Oh, my! Those are real??? =S
Anne-Marie--That's hysterical. I can see that you are woman of experience. Once, a student worker sent this email to everyone in our office: "Let’s be kind and caring to the copy machine. It has been repaired again today and for this we are thankful. While it is an inanimate object, it rejoices when we are kind. Don’t ask how I know this, just trust me. Thanks!" This wasn't a joke;she was serious.

So Janet, the question is: if your student worker had had one of these to play with as a child, would it have developed in her a greater or a lesser sensitivity to the feelings of office machinery?
I had to comment on this after seeing the movie Babies. It portrays so well the trappings of modern culture juxtaposed to the happy simple life of lesser civilized? countries. The African family looked happiest, especially because they had siblings to love and love them.:D
It does have a bit too much of up close breastfeeding scenes for my comfort (unless I was just with some of my girlfriends).
In Christ,
