How to tell your child they are a failure.

Buy them the "McDonalds Activity Play Set". Absolutely genuine, saw it today in Woolworths. Basically a little counter with some plastic burgers, till etc. so your own little Johnny No-Stars can pretend to dish out homologated fat slabs to his litle mates.
I cannot work out who would be more depressed, a child receiving it and thinking "So that's what my parents think I could aspire to be." or a parent hearing that that was what their kid "really, really" wanted for Christmas.
Incidentally they also do a drive through (sorry "thru") version if you want to add a few extra thrills.

It's a toy so that kids can play at being grown ups. It may not fit in with the future aspirations you have for your child but it's going to be a damn site more fun than a textbook on quantum physics.
If you buy your kid a pirate costume are they destined for a life of grand maritime larceny?
Saw this at the weekend and did a but purely at McD marketing. Our kids have a play till and groceries which I think are good. (The till I had as a kid had little pop up numbers, my kids have an electronic one, including a pretend debit card!)
What really scared me was the McFlurry making kit.
When you had used up the sachets included you have to send off 3 quid a shot for replacements. If anyone bought that for my kids, they get it returned with a complementry kick in the knackers, and no mistake!

I saw some of these PlayMobil figures a couple of years ago in a toy shop in Chester. All the other single figures, like the farmer, paramedic, roadsweeper ones were £5.99 each.
This one was £1.49, and they still had a shelf full left. I bought a few!
I may even use it as one of the figures on our Wedding cake!
