Speaking of Plastic Crap for Kids...

It seemed like a good idea in the toy store.

Clearance Baby Pool + Bag of Plastic Balls = Cheap Hours of Entertainment

Actual result: Biggest Ghetto Toy EVER

Admittedly, I probably should have chosen a baby pool that actually had enough integrity to not curl up on itself. That would have made it nicer.

And, truthfully, the kids like it. Sure, I gotta pick up a hundred plastic balls every night. But it actually does entertain them for a whopping 10 minutes or so each day.
