What I Did for Love...

Why do toy manufacturers make kids's toys that are so difficult to put together?

Our lovely neighbors gave us this cool gift for Chloe's birthday last March and only recently did I have time to put it together. It was so darn difficult! Golly, it was easier to assemble cabinets from Makro! Chloe was watching me put it together while she was sitting in the box. At first, it was a very ok experience but within ten minutes, I realized that some of the plastic molded pieces didn't quite fit perfectly unless you used brute force to merge them together.

Louie was asleep. And I was thinking, "Dang, this is something a man should do." Because clearly, it wasn't meant for petite women (haha, petite daw!) to assemble. Talk about sexist toy manufacturers.

It was supposed to be some group of tunnels where you could put water. Chloe found it quite amusing. I think it would have been more amusing if it didn't leak all the water you put in it. My hands were already hurting from forcing certain pieces of plastic to fit so there was nothing else I could do to fix it. It sure was a messy thing to play with.

Chloe enjoyed it alot - splashing water all around, asking me, "Where did the water go, Mommy?"

Ah well, I'm glad Squirt liked it. It was pure hell to put it together. Hahaha.
