A toy bomb went off in the Genuine household last evening. No one was hurt in the blast, although Genuine Dad did step on something sharp that could get infected. The suspects were apprehended shortly before dawn and confessions were signed in front of authorities. The two suspects acted alone in their endeavor, and they will be performing community service while on probation. Here are some of the pictures of the devastation caused by the two toy terrorists. Please be forwarned some of you may feel these to be too graphic and not suitable for other children.
Authorities have now dropped the toy terror alert to Yellow, and all should be safe until bath night.
You mean you live in my house? It was so messy, I had no idea there was a whole other family in there.
Just the thought of walking in on that mess is enough to make me want to curl up in a fetal position..
I feel SO MUCH better about my house. Thank you, Jim, thank you. *wipes tears*
It also makes for a nice touch of schadenfreude, since people usually feel better about their LIVES reading my blog.
Mindy, I am with you on this one honey! I owe ya one Genuine, for helping me to see that you got it worse than I do! LOL
WOW! Love the padded walls too! I am seriously considering having some of those installed at my house!
OK Ok Auntie will start giving money for birthday and Christmas!
It must make you feel SO good to know that you're making a LOT of us feel better about our crud... er, toys. :) I think I need to go hug my kids for this one.
How did you get the confession ... mine never confess, even when evidence is throw at them ...
Dude, You need the Clean Sweep people from the Discovery Channel to come help you out with that mess, LOL! They come in and pull all that crap out of the room, make you sort through it, sell it, and make your room look all spiffy again. Shall I call them or do you want to?
Well apparently, that's how kids play with their toys these days. They don't actually play with any one toy in particular, the toys are just used in the "make a giant mess" game where they just take ALL toys from their appointed place and throw them all over the house. We play that here ALL the time.
that has to be the biggest toy bomb in history.
good god man.
That reminds of why I am so happy that my 23 year old son now has a 2 year old. Pay backs are hell, especially when little pay back can make pouty faces.
I'm just jealous of the padded walls. Stick 'em in straight jackets... put them in the padded room and who cares what they do?
Bath night? Baths only happen on a certain night of the week? ;-)
My kiddo said, "oooh mess" when it saw those pictures, haha!
That's a bomb. My house looks like that everyday. I had no idea it was the result of a bomb. I'm worried now. Maybe I should call the police...
There are times when my daughter's toy box throws up in the floor, too, but I think yours has a virus the likes of which I've never seen.
The scary thing is some of them are still in the box they came in. What will we do when they find those? Embarrassing!!!!!!!
and I thought my house was a mess...woo wee! Great story too, you have a way with words Jim. Got me hooked.
Uh-huh. Yep, looks just like my girls' room a couple years ago. I'd show you what to expect in 5 or 10 years, but I hate making grown men cry....
Just add kleenex and teen mags and clothing and books and....
I know you have a pick up truck!!!! Looks like you could fill it about twice and the little tykes would NEVER KNOW
Having waded through the aftermath of our own version of the Toy Bomb, we have devised a plan centered around these 4 little words:
Giant.
Plastic.
Storage.
Tubs.
Thank you Rubbermaid. You've saved my children from certain toylessness.
