Boys and Boxes

Toys are big business in this country. Parents spent over 21 billion dollars in 2008 on toys for their children, but they need not have bothered. Everybody knows boys like boxes better. What was true at Christmas remains true in summer. We purchased this large storage tub to store our patio furniture cushions. This summer, since the cushions are on the chairs and the box was available, we decided to store the boys’ backyard toys in the box. The twins promptly dumped the toys into the yard and proceeded to play with the box. Maybe I can tap into that lucrative toy market by selling boxes to other parents.
