Ralph, you and I must be twin sons of different mothers. OMG, so many toys and non-toys that I have attempted to assemble over my adult life have one or multiple mistakes; WHEN I'm lucky, the toy or whatever functions as, or nearly as, intended. WHEN I'm unlucky, the unfortunate plaything ends up on The Island of Misfit Toys...the really bad ones end up on Devil's Island...
The dad mowing over toys in this Old Spice makes me envious:
You made me laugh out loud. Who doesn't dread those confusing instruction sheets? And how true to realize that: "...it’s one of those toys that you could easily imagine in a matter of months sitting at the foot of the driveway under a “free” sign."
Thank you for your wonderful writing. It's one of the things that gets us by these days.
