The Many Uses of Kids' Toys I

Somethings make me smile more than others.  Seeing a grown up using a kids' toy as a tool always brightens my day.  I have done this myself many times because A) I have opposable thumbs and B) my IQ is staggering.  Now that I said my IQ is staggering I will mispell at least ten words.  Back to the toys, I have used toys to stand on to reach things around my house, I have used them to help me reach things under our couch, and I have used toys to help me see in the dark.  Toys seem to come in handy more than you would think.  I also think that little baby toys, due to their sturdiness, are capable of being used more often.  As children get older the toys get smaller and less useful.  I mean, what the heck am I going to use a "Littlest Pet Shop" for?  Anyways,

I thought it would be cool to keep a running journal through posts whenever I see toys being used for other purposes besides their original intent.  I got this idea when I saw my wife perched atop a sturdy little plastic desk chair in our closet.  She is on the shorter side, but still super hot, and this little chair has come to her rescue many times.
