My Other Car Is A Tricycle

I haven’t been in a Toys ‘R Us since, er, since I was 12?

Maybe. I can’t remember if there was a Toys ‘R Us in Singapore when I was growing up.

Now that I’m utterly baby crazed, we had to visit a nearby Toys ‘R Us/Babies ‘R Us when I determined that we did not have the all-important BABY WIPES to prepare us for the 100 diapers we will change a week when Mini DJ is here.

It’s been a while, folks, so it was a thoroughly surreal experience.

Toy-makers must believe children can only see two colors in their lifetime. Why else would all girly stuff be pink and the boy stuff be blue?

Enter the “Barbie Escalade SUV.”

I don’t like Escalades—they look obnoxious and ugly on the roads—so to see it miniaturized and pinkified was horrifying.

The good people at Fisher-Price didn’t think so. They wanted $350 for it.

Is this what my future holds? Saying “No” to a wailing girl in front of a pink abomination?
