A bit of a change in today’s post to my son…
I am not going to write a letter to Squishy, but instead I am going to write to my hubs. Because as this picture clearly shows. I have got a bone to pick!
Dearest Darling Hubs,
I love you. But…Please don’t buy gifts for your son that:
1. Take 30 minutes to remove from the packaging (Seriously this $15 car was screwed in to plastic, which was screwed into the packaging!) all the while your son is throwing a MASSIVE tantrum complete with alligator tears, and the words “Vroom Vroom” being mentioned between sobs.
2. Buy gifts for your son before you press ALL the buttons. While it was cool that this particular car plays the “bad boys” theme song from cop. I fear the day my son screams from the back seat “QUICK, BACK UP!” or tells some poor unsuspecting person, “YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!”
3. Buy gifts that don’t have an off button. (My sanity dwindles with every siren.)
MKAY?ย Thanks!ย Love you dear!

Oh my goodness, these are the gifts that are relegated to relatives we don’t like. What was he thinking? LOL

OMGosh poor little guy looks so upset and it sounds just like mine. Ugh I hate those packages. Yes, I get they don’t want others to steal them but come on, mom is always left opening them. ๐ Happy WW!
Molly @Mallaidh says
Oh my goodness! I loathe packaging like that! And toys without an off button are forbidden in this house!
And he looks so sad having to wait for it! ๐
Eileen says
AAAWWWW to cute! He’s a doll. I followed you from a blog hop a week ago and you never followed back. I would love it if you stopped by my blog.
Emily says
Eileen – the link you left isn’t working… Could you let me know where I can find your blog to follow back?
Miss67C says

Emily says
Thanks! ๐ He recovered quickly!
Nicole says

Yeah – not so much. But even his sad face is cute to me! ๐
SAPsMaMa says
oh I know exactly how you feel! I’ve had a similar situation, I feel so bad for them yet we go as fast as we can to open it!
I’d love it if you checked out my WW and other posts on my blog, SAPsMaMa Natural Parenting and Green Living! http://sapsmama.com
Emily says
I know – I felt awful. We gate off our kitchen so he was just hanging on the gate like a locked out puppy. So sad. Thanks for stopping by – Love the booger picture!
Jen says
That’s great! All those toys need tools to get them out-it’s so annoying!
Emily says
They do – but if they did they would probably charge you for them too. Sigh! Thanks for stopping by Jen!
Stacy Uncorked says
There must be some sort of trigger when hubby’s see those kinds of toys in the store…now to figure out how to make sure that trigger isn’t triggered! ๐ You are not alone! ๐
WW: Still Waiting for Spring
Emily says
So if you figure it out – you will let me know right!?
adriel says
hahaha, this is hilarious! i hate it when toys are that hard to get into!!! and not only that but how wasteful is all that packaging? drives me nuts!! and yeah, those sound effects wound horrible. obviously he’s not a stay-at-home-dad! hahahaha. ๐
Emily says
No – he isn’t and even if he was he probably would think it was cool too – I just wish he had pressed all the buttons… I didn’t even think to check. ๐ And such a waste!
sarah shult says
AGREED! And your “MKAY” cracked me up! Love it:)
Emily says
Thanks Sarah!!
Lolo says
Mkay! What is it with locking toys up in packaging like it is gold?
Emily says
I know – the dang car was only $15 too!
Liz says
I’m going to sound like the craziest mom ever because I actually WANT to find this car. Well, not so much want it. More like, this was the gift we promised our son once he was potty-trained. He held up his end of the bargain but now we can’t find this car at our Target. Could you tell me what the brand is and what store you found it in? I Googled “police car plays Bad Boys” and your site is one of the only ones that comes up. Thanks!
