toys for a big boy

It’s been a principle of mine to ask for something fun when a birthday or Christmas come around. Its just seems that when people get older they inadvertently lose that childlike sense of play…something to really get excited about getting out of the box. Pretty soon our wish list consists of socks and ties.

We migrate from fun to functional.

This year my parents gave me a remote control airplane. I hope to get it out soon and there will probably be a pool on how long it lasts before I destroy it. My mom joked that I’m 30 years old and she is still getting me toys. I hope she can say the same thing when I am 60.
So that’s my ripe old wisdom of 30 years of life. Don’t stop playing. It keeps you young.

Bonus: Try making a fun, not functional, list this Christmas.
Double bonus: Try buying fun, not functional, gifts for your loved ones.
