Christmas Gifts Gone Bad

My son Brody got a set of small plastic cars for a Christmas gift. I found a pic and video on my phone this morning that I thought was pretty funny. I took them back around the first of the year. Let's just say the set of 10 little pull back racers didn't last long in the hands of a 5 year old.

We've all played with these kind of toy cars. All you do is pull them back til you hear a click and let go. The car then races across the floor, sometimes in a straight line, and crashes into the wall or chair leg, or garbage can to be gathered up and pulled back again.

The first toy car in the pack of 10 my son received fell apart. The left front wheels literally fell of the car in about two races. Then, it was not possible for it to go in a straight line. After it lost it's wheel, it did crazy circles and sin outs. Brody liked this a LOT better and laughed every time. I recorded a video to send as a text to my sister who bought him the cars. I thought I'd share it with you. It's a bit fuzzy because of the compression but you can get the gist of the car disappearing underneath the stove.
