Is it really mean that I just used your post to give Paige the final "no way" on the Aqua Dots?
But it is awfully unsettling that so many toys are a danger to our kids. I guess we just stick with crayons, old kitchen tools, and Play-Doh (you could technically eat that, right?).
the whole state of terror that the toy industry is in is really upsetting. How did it devolve to this point? I feel awful every time my daughter asks to put something on her Christmas list or even asks a question about a toy, something she saw in a catalog or that a friend has (thank heaven for TiVo and OPB she doesn't see many commercials when she watches TV). I just find myself saying no all the time. I've explained the whole thing to her. I have told her what has happened to the toy industry and that we have to be careful.
I want to say it's sad but that isn't nearly a strong enough word.
Disgusting, isn't it? I am among the millions of moms who are sighing in relief that I had put a big, red, emphatic NO about getting that for my kids, despite the begging.
Still. What the heck? Our kids aren't even safe from toys.
