Why is it?

Why is it that you could spend all the money in the world on cool toys and your baby would still rather play with a metal bowl and a wooden spoon? Last night, surrounded by his toys, Ryan crawled over to the recycling and dug out a box that held frozen twice baked potatoes and carried it around with him all night. Fisher Price really had the right idea--charge lots of money for toys that will always be inferior to a box in the recycling. Brilliant.
