about 7 years ago a supplier sent me and the other guys in IT those micro scooters. I still have it unopened in its box.
My kids don't want it. I can't decide whether it was a bad or good gift. I suppose me and the guys could have raced them up the corridors of the school I worked in at the time, but we didn't.

You won't.
My daughter has fairly little say in what she wears. So jeans and a tshirt.

Nowt to do with me
Its all down to the mother and and mothers mother. Couple of wannabe disney princesses if I ever saw one.

I only play gender neutral games with them like "Wind up the child by calling it a slug until it cries" and "Pretend to be a lion/dinosaur/zombie attacking child until it wets itself"

I was tucking her in last night and asked "Have you got your monkey?"

"Yes Dad"

"I was talking to him" *points*
