Yes, I Remember

From Mikey’s Funnies:

My five-year-old son squealed with delight when he opened his birthday present from his grandmother. It was a water pistol. He promptly ran to the sink to fill it.

“Mom,” I said. “I’m surprised at you. Don’t you remember how we used to drive you crazy with water pistols?”

My mom smiled and said, “Yes, I remember.”

As a fairly recently minted first-time Grandfather, this joke is well worth remembering! Let’s see, on my Get-Even-With-The-Kids-List I have a squirt gun, a drum set, Legos (that are oh-so-fun to step on in bare feet on the way to the bathroom in the dark in the middle of the night!), that thingy on a stick that makes hard colorful balls bang into a plastic globe-type thing when it’s pushed (I think we called it a popcorn popper), a rock-polishing tumbler, chemistry set, wood burning set, …

Do you have suggstions for more things that should be added to the list? If so, please add them in the comments section!

Thank you!

Russ

    Your items are generally boy-related. How about those granddaughters? A dolly that cries until you put a bottle in her mouth. A soft, cuddly, stuffed monkey that screeches until you turn it over. A miniature kitchen with a million tiny parts (pots, pans, lids, silverware, etc). Stickers – really sticky stickers, colorful and inviting. Oh, you will have lots of fun getting even!!
