Karma

Just had my daughter's birthday and I have one question. Why do I need scissors, wire cutters, a screw driver, pliers and a degree in engineering to open a new toy. If there is such a thing as Karma, the people who design packaging for children's toys are in for it.

If I had my way, the guy who engineered the packaging for the Fisher Price Little People's Farm would be forced to spend eternity in a room of eager three year olds on Christmas morning opening the packaging before the melt downs begin. And he wouldn't be allowed to use any power tools. Just bare hands. Ha. Good luck with that.

I think these are the same people who design toys that play music ... with no volume controls. These are sick and twisted people who obviously hate parents. There should be criminal penalities against this kind of insanity in my opinion.

Oddly enough, the key role I now play at Christmas and birthday gatherings is to unpackage the packaged.
