Batteries!!!

You know it's suspicious when you take your kid to Wally World to spend his birthday money and the toy he picks out has these great attractive colors. You know the box i'm talkin about, it screams to the rugrats that inside this package is the most amazing toy they will ever play with! I of course wanted to read all about this amazing spectacle of childhood myself but as I perused the box there was no mention of needing batteries. Of course that was the thing you would first look for when it comes to unbelievably incredible toys right? No mention at all ! So I handed the box to my husband and asked him what he thought. We both decided just to wait til later to buy batteries after we opened it and that way we weren't spending anything we didn't have to! With the price of gas the way it is these days every penny helps. Oh I have not seen my little five year old so excited since, well yesterday but he's five excitement is so common at that age. The box was ripped open before we walked in the door and the instructions were handed over. WHAT!!!!! Much to my chagrin the toy was in need of 12 batteries! I
lie not, tis the truth I speak! I know I should've taken it back right? But you also know why I didn't, that smilin' little boy that was lookin up at me. It wasn't his fault I didn't check first so I couldn't punish him. Anyways the moral of the story is....if the box itself looks like it needs batteries to run then most likely whatever is inside will need twice as many!
