The Toy Salesman (VIDEO)
Try as parents might to get their kids on board for all kinds of stuff, our kids still rebel.
Try these brussel sprouts, you’ll love them! Let’s go to the dentist! It’s fun! C’mon, change your own diaper! Hygiene is cool!
But it’s not just the lame stuff we’re supposed to get them to do. It’s also the stuff that we WANT them to do or like. Movies, music, toys, food. You say, “But I LOVED it when I was growing up!”
Anyway, here’s a look at this parental phenomenon and a desperate dad’s attempt to get an early start at getting around the generational gap…

So, will we keep trying? You bet. Will we fail? Probably. But will ever stop being nostalgic about our own childhood and thrusting upon our own children? NOPE.
Not sure if you’ll see more videos with Andy in them. He’s kinda hogging the limelight. I can’t have that. Whatevs.

Swings and dolls. Swings and dolls. So far, my 3 year old will do one push on the swing before he’s screaming his head off – “BUT I LOVED THIS AS A KID!” And my 3 month old screams her head off at any doll put in eye sight…
/sigh
Riding a trike or bike. He has *zero* interest in anything with wheels or pedals. All kids like this right? Well, actually, this post made me realize I didn’t really like bikes either growing up! I learned how around 6 or 7, but rarely actually got on one of those things! Genetic?!?
I had my 3 yo son dancing to the backstreet boys today. No lie.
Erm. Maybe you should have lied about that one. Ha ha! Just kidding. The horribly depressing British guitar bands of the ’80s Sub-Alternative music I’ve pushed on my boys is genuinely pathetic.
Nothing is more educational and fun than The Safety Dance. . .
Ha ha! You can dance if you want to. It’s true.
Elmozilla just scarred me for life.
Mission accomplished!
LOL!!!
Haha! Tickle-me-zilla! Hilarious
Awww, thanks.
sorry guys, the kids sell us toys, not the other way around.
Truer words were never spoken. Ha ha!
Now try that w/daughters. Results don’t vary…they are all the same. Unfortunately
Ha ha! That’s too bad.
I guess we’ll have to leave it to crappy Hollywood reboots of our favorite things to bring them into our kids’ lives.
