Toys--Why Do We Even Bother?

I'm too lazy to look up the official statistics, but we all know that the toy industry is a multi-billion (probably trillion) dollar industry. Looking around our place, I'm confused as to why that is.

Things my children won't play with:

1. That cool ball house, unless it's to throw ALL the balls out. It's going to the thrift store on Friday.

2. That awesome, high-tech, expensive walker, unless it's being pushed around to hit each other with. Although, the kids did get some excitement out of disassembling the interesting parts.

3. Any human or animal figurine that is intact. It must be missing at least one limb for it to be worth playing with.



4. Each other, unless it involves hitting. See #2.

5. This entire box of toys. I'm not sure what is in there, but it must be all nice stuff, otherwise the kids would love it.
