TMI: Toy Talk

Several weeks ago A and I were returning home from shopping. I was driving and it was dark, icy and white-out conditions from blowing snow. We had already seen a couple cars in the ditch and I was just slip-sliding along very slowly. We were chatting about random stuff and the conversation turns to this.

A: I was shopping online last night and found a couple new toys I was thinking of ordering. (She then goes on to describe these toys to me)

Me: Those sound like they could be fun but we just bought that last toy a couple months ago and we've only used it once. 

A: Yeah, I know but that damn thing has a hair-trigger!

Me: (Choking and sputtering on my coffee, trying to not lose control of the car and slide in the ditch.)

A: I tried to adjust it and I accidently bumped some button and it took off out of control. I actually saw your toes point! Don't you remember?

Me: (By now I'm laughing so hard the tears are running down my cheeks and I can barely see the icy road.) No, I think I was preoccupied at the time. I doubt my toes pointed though. I think you're full of shit.

A: I swear your toes pointed. Tomorrow I'm ordering something I have more control over.

My opinion: if it's effective why change it...but then again more toys means more options and more fun. ;)
