Mercy

Keith -and anyone else with small children - owes me a big thank you. I have done all of my kid Christmas shopping and I am pleased to tell you that I steadfastly avoided buying any toy that makes noise on its own. They're all imagination, not battery, powered. I will accept your adoration now.

(Fair warning: If you're not nice to me in the coming year, it'll be fingerpaints and a tambourine next year. They require creatvity and imagination too.)
