I'm a Toys R Us...kid??

I love Toys R Us!! Me and my bro and K-Man go there once and a while and have a great time messing around playing with the swords and hockey equipment and riding around on those kids size bikes. On weedsday afternoon I went to the store in Barrie, but this time I was actually looking for a something to buy. A friend of mine just had a baby boy and I went to get one of them shower gifts. That was a first for me. I'm not a big fan of shopping for gifts cause usually I don't have a clue what to get. It was the same situation this time. I started thinking of the usual baby gifts but I wanted to get something different and sweet. So my plan of attack was to walk around till I found something that made me smile while nodding and smirk at the same time.

At first all I saw was just crap. All these useless sounds and moving and wobbling junk. But then I found this tool bench do-ha with a hammer and you hit these nail like objects and they made cool "boing" sounds. Not bad. Ya I know, this little dude can't use complicated toys yet, but crap, I ain't gonna give him squeeze and chew toys or drool absorbing fluffy things. When he's older I want him to remember the gift that uncle Steve got him. Then I spotted this three-in-one (points just for that) sports deal with a real baseball bat and tee ball to swing at, golf club and a putting hole, and a baseket ball with a hoop. And it said that the little dude only had to be 9 months to use it. Sweet Deal!!

By the time I left the store I felt very satisfied and mature. Satisfied cause I accomplished something I'd never done before. And mature cause I bought a gift for a baby, possibly triggered the father thing in me, and I didn't cause a commotion or get on the intercom and page my brother to the cash as a lost child.
