Dear Toy Manufacturers:
We are drowning in toys. Specifically, toys with ridiculously small and numerous parts. We have tripped over them, had our feet stabbed with rogue Legos, and have finally just given up on the elusive Organization of said toys.
Do you SEE my house???
I mean, we did just have Christmas, and this IS the downstairs "toy room", but it's become such a nightmare that no one but my husband even ventures down there much anymore, and he only goes because his office is down there, God bless him.
I cannot afford for him to break his neck by falling over all this crap, yet I cannot seem to find the will to clean it up, either. The plastic fumes must be doing me in.
And so, Toy Manufacturers, I just want you to know how totally delighted I was to discover THESE among my children's excessive Christmas loot:
We ABSOLUTELY needed for our toddlers to own toys that are approximately the size of teeth. Baby teeth. Fabulous.
While Legos, blocks, and plastic baby doll bottles merely IRRITATE the soles of our feet and cause much swearing, I fear that these may actually puncture the skin.
So, thank you for your thoughtfulness! I mean, at least they are small enough to go down smoothly if someone gets a notion to put them in their mouth.
Ooh, and also? Just a note from here in Missouri, Meth Capital of the Nation...you might want to get on that crazy "politically correct" bandwagon and consider discontinuing THIS particular item:

What, is this part of the Make Your Own Pretend Meth Lab Kit? I know it's a fertilizer truck that came with a farm set and all, but I think a milk truck might be the better choice, at least around these parts.
Very Sincerely,

Oh woweeee!
Legos under bare feet are. The. WORST! Thankfully, we don't have too many tiny parts as we are in the eat everything stage, and if it's too small it gets packed away (never to be seen again.)
Oh man, I had an OCD seizure just looking at that picture of your play room just now. And like Donna said - hives - too. Lots of them!
Whenever my kids get toys that have tiny little parts, I take them right off the bat and put them somewhere safe...and away from my feet! Man, stepping on that stuff is grounds for serious mayhem.
I can't believe that toy room!! Who gets to clean that up??
I thought you may have been exagerating on the mess in said toy room! HA HA HA you weren't kidding. Legos suck and so does the farm set, B got the same one. Ugh! The cows and horses are totally out of portion to the barn. Just something that irritates the crap out of me....Anyway have fun cleaning that up. I could bring you lunch from Spring Creek the day you decide to tackle that! Call me.

Anhydrous Ammonia? On a kids toy? Never mind the meth implications, just the "Mommy, what's this?" would have me saying "Uh, um, go play."
I'm not one to EVER write LOL... but this time I actually LOL'd!!
The totally sad part about this post is the first thing I noticed is that you still have your Christmas tree up too!!!
okay, so don't tell my kids, but i put all the toys i don't want to deal with (granted, i have a fairly high tolerance) in a far away closet and even -gasp- the trash. they get so much crap that they'll never know the difference. i also usher in all the new toys by clearing out a good portion of the old.
anhydrous ammonia. brilliant.
I know exactly how that feels. It just so much fun to step on piercing little toys in the middle of the night! WTF is with the fertilizer toy??
I suggest just taking a broom and sweeping it all away! :)
Meth lab... haha! And btw, how did you get that picture of my house??
