I hate things that make kids giddy with joy

Let me just begin with telling you that one of my favorite sounds is the laughter of kids or babies even when they laugh like hyenas in heat. But there are some toys and items in our world that I just find ZERO use for. There are parents who think they are funny by putting them in a goody bag at a party or they give them as a gift to your kid to either start a war or get back at you for something you did. Now, there are plenty of things I do outwardly and for the humor of it and yes, they do sometimes end up with a pay-back.....for the smart ones. A few examples:
Hey Jen....thanks for the whistles in the goody bags - you are swell......this mom paid me back with silly putty
But I must say that the whistles were actually straws and I didn't know they were whistles until HER kids got them and I did have special bags for her kids b/c she gave them GUM last time!
Oh Balloons, I LOVE balloons, need more of them - especially in the summer when all of the fans in the house are on! OR when your kid cowers from balloons b/c one POPPED in her face that one time when she finally did get up the courage to move closer to this odd floating being.

Here is a quick list:
Silly String
Balloons
Bath Markers
Bath Foam
Bath Bubbles....anything BATH
Bubbles
Whistles
party horns
gum
packing peanunts
bubble wrap
finger paints
silly putty
finger paints
bouncy bouncy balls - the ones they can fit perfectly in their mouth
craft gifts of any kind - you have the sand making stuff, puppet making toys, create your own bubble bath, easy bake oven, cupcake machine, purse knitting, make your own silk-screen-sun-dyed-handprint-tie died-pillow kit, and the favorite of all the baby hand plaster set...wait actually the crystal and geode making set....THAT one tops it (but was actually MY idea)!

Yeah, so you get the gist of it, pretty much anything that requires my assistance (aka: I HAVE to do it MYSELF), requires an iron or any heat source, has anything to do with my washing machine (aka: RUINING any load that comes through in the next 6 months, at least if I don't want some random spot of purple on it), anything that breeds or creates more of a mess than a 2yr old can clean up in a 2 foot radius, anything that doesn't return immediate gratification like the geode making was 10 days for the FIRST step!!! Anything that melts which means it could melt in my car, anything that stains, anything that needs more than a 1 time set of attention...like a plant or a fish or something like that...like living..., anything that takes up more space than a shoebox, and especially (and i know every parent would agree) is anything that makes noise.....even those adorable, irresistible little zhu zhu pets that squeak and such....those things never stop. We had one loose in the house for 3 days after Christmas!!!

But really, despite all of this I really AM a toy lover! Its just that the toys I love and pick out aren't real crowd pleasers. Playing cards, wad of paper that you throw in a basket, pretend anything.....and....well....yeah - that about covers it.
