Do kids play with toys anymore? Seems to me they just play games on their cellphones.

“Do kids play with toys anymore?”

No, today’s toys are either electronic junk or they play by themselves and the kids watch. They’re cheap in every way except price.

As a post-war young’un, I didn’t have, or need, a storeroom for all my toys. There weren’t that many but my Dad bought quality stuff. Big trucks, earthmovers, road graders that were at least 2-3 feet long, all made of real steel right here in America! A good quality American Flyer electric train, a Gilbert chemistry set and he even passed on to me his original 1920’s Erector Set - all steel and brass, with tiny electric motors that made the cranes and winches work. Those were real MAN’S toys!
