THE CHEAP TOY

Here is The Soap Queen with Brand New Baby (#7) and in the other corner...



...we find a box and two boys inside. Taz and Lego Boy .


Hiding out.

And then popping out just to make sure we were watching.

Lego Boy is running things, he is the power of the box, so to speak. He rattled and rolled the box while Taz bounced, fell over and took all the rattling, rolling action.


The box is disintegrating, becoming less of a box and more of a tent.


One more roll and its back in box shape and Taz...


...is ready to escape


because Lego Boy is still into the rolling, bouncing mode and Taz has had enough.

Mom does not interfere. In fact she is amused because she knows that Taz will be back inside in about 30 seconds, ready to take whatever his brother dishes out.


Finally, Lego Boy emerges and the two turn the poor abused box into a slide. Whew, that box entertained those two for over an hour of non-stop play. I was tired just watching them.

The cost of this toy? Well, since it is the box for a new car seat for Brand New Baby it probably actually cost more than I originally thought. Not cheap after all, but, let's face it, it's worth it.

Phil said, when he saw Brand New Baby for the first time, "God sends a child to change the world for the better," and He has. We're sure of it. And these boys will change the world for the better too.
