Kids don’t play with toys. They sit in front of the tv or play video games.

“”Kids don’t play with toys. They sit in front of the tv or play video games.””

True it can sometimes be a real battle but our grandson (9 years old) loves to spend his Christmas and birthday money at Toys R Us for Legos and I enjoy playing with them when he brings them over to put together. I have some I put away at Christmas and birthday time saving because he got too much stuff at Christmas/Birthday...If I don’t get Legos for him, I order stuff from Fat Brain website which has lots of interesting stuff making kids exercise their minds. Have to admit he kind of puts those aside but I keep hoping!

I forget what comedian said it, (Sinbad, I think), but he said “back in my day, I had a rock and a stick and was perfectly happy!”

It is even changing our new homes. In my area (Seattle suburbs) they put cram $1.5 million dollar homes with 10’ between them, and 20’ back to back. NO yards for the kids to play. It’s crazy!
