The burping toy

Today Len brought home a burping toy. Yes, a burping toy. Thank you VERY much for that Len. It was given to him by a co-worker who didn't want to bring it home to her kids (geeze, I wonder why???) It apparently has been named the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Award burping toy for 2009. Do your kids have any toys that are just absolutely the world's most annoying toy? Well, this new burping toy tops the most annoying list! The kids love it, of course. They press the button over and over making it burp constantly. They think it's hilarious.

So what is a Mom to do with such an annoying toy brought home by her wonderful husband?

Let me tell you...

It was time to get the kids ready for bed tonight, and since the kids were so enthralled by the thing, I just had to let them bring it upstairs with them. I was busy getting bath water ready, undressing kids, putting kids in the tub, and dealing with the pee pee puddle that always seems to happen as soon as I take off the diaper. I was just to busy to keep up with that lovely burping toy. Needless to say, the burping toy ended up in the bathtub. DARN! The once loved burping toy that made the most unattractive noise ever has now been silenced from the bath water. Although it did solve my problem of getting rid of the most annoying toy, I really didn't intentionally do it on purpose :) Len still thinks I did, but I promise I didn't.

Let me end on this. As I found the toy in the bath tub and noticed it didn't make the burping noise anymore, I told Len that it was broken. He took it from me, and as he was walking away with it he said, "Maybe I can get it to work again once it dries out." He then placed it on the window seal so it could dry out. PUH -LEEEZE! :)
