However, there were no noticeable dramas for the little one, who considered the whole thing so naturally as in “it broke, it was fixed, it broke again and now it’s working again”… As opposed to us, the old guys, taking too much pride in our skills…”If you’d done the way I told you….” or “ Nahh, eventually I was the one…”

The history of the defect/ accident

Seeing how the split looked like the first time, that toy must have been either sat on by one of the parents or turned it into mace by the kid. Continue reading “Noise making gun – November 2009”
