I must admit certain toys of my children have fallen victim to more than one of the demises pictured here.

"No, we don't have any replacement batteries".

Heh. Not pictured: Opening the f***ing noisy toy that grandpa thought would be funny to get your kids, and that your children love too much to quietly dispose of up, cutting the wire to the speaker, and closing it again.

"aw, I'm sorry it doesn't make any noise anymore, kid. At least it still drives across the floor."

:lol I was going to mention that one. Not really a murder, but a speaker-ectomy. What makes it funnier is it took 3 adults about 20 minutes to break into the damn toy and figure out how to cut the wires.

I've been utilizing the "toynapping" method for years! The great thing is it also works for husbands' UGLY tshirts and baseball caps, "No I haven't seen your 'Fish Fear Me' shirt".....;)

This is bullshit right here. Miissing T'shirts. Then, a couple months later, finding a rag that's the exact same fabric and color. But somehow any defining logos or designs were cut off.

The large trash can in the garage is a perfect spot for those bags of clothes that "I am going to take to Goodwill soon" that never go away, they just multiply. Take back your garage, one bag a week finds it's way into the trash. The same goes for those stupid "I have to have this small rock garden/water fountain" that finds it's way into your garage after a month and the water has evaporated, or that gumball machine/aquarium that never had a fish in it but sat in your living room for 2 months because it was a gift, then found it's way to your work bench somehow. In the trash it goes. Just make sure to cover this stuff with something really unsavory that the other half would never lift to see what's beneath it, like a large trash bag with axle grease all over it.

Heh, not related to parenting, but I once set my older brothers remote control car on fire and watch it melt. We lived in the desert at the time and just told him it must have melted on the porch.

For young parents with coveted hardwood floors you just can’t go wrong giving their toddlers toy push mowers & toy gumball push toys…They make lots of noise & children are entertained for hours….

As a parent, I like to believe that not only is there a special place in Hell reserved for people who do this, but that special place also doubles as the eternal resting spot for toys whose life was ended prematurely by parents. :devil

I don't remember, but knowing my parents I'm sure it happened. :lol
