    I bought on of these, but my kids never played with it. However, at the pediatrician’s, it was the most interesting thing ever to them

      It was the most interesting thing in the waiting room. Not the most interesting thing in your house. I’d say that’s a good thing.

        It is also a good demonstration how realtive our happyness is. It is all about expectations.

    Pediatric Dentists:

    I’ll take one of those roll coaster things and a box of small toys you can choke on. Gimme a couple of those old Highlights magazines too.

    Hot take: they intentionally put these in Grown Up places that have a lot of kids so their filthy curious hands only fuck with the shiny blocks, and not with the TV remotes and the fax machines

    Hell, I made them. When I was a teenager I worked at a company called Educo that made these. The machines the old guy invented that bent the wires up were crazy.
