Play Doh With Cousins


Here Pete is doing some Play-Doh with cousins Shayna and Skyler. Sam is not pictured - he must have run out to the store for some groceries.

Play-Doh is something that used to be easy:
1. Make an imaginary figure.
2. Put Play-Doh back in container and close lid.

With the newfangled Play-Doh kits, it is more like:
1. Take out various Play-Doh devices
2. Try to squeeze Play-Doh through various molds
3. Too hard to squeeze. Ask parents to help
4. Ask parents to spend 20 minutes trying to get Play-Doh out of holes/nooks/crannies in molds
5. Try to eat creations that look exactly like food
6. Throw all devices into large bin. Don't bother trying to close the lid

Also, you may have observed the Spongebob toys in the picture. These are like the "magic 8-ball". You ask it a question, and get an answer that contains a bad nautical pun. Sam is funny because he never asks it a question. He just makes declarations.

Dad: "Sam, ask Spongebob a question"
Sam: "Ok."
Sam: "I am going to have pizza for lunch and pizza for dinner"
[shakes it violently. looks for answer]
Sam: "It says Crab-solutely!!!"

Of course, then you have to go around the floor picking up all those little pieces. And what's with Christy? She looks less than enthused.....maybe thinking about what she has to do after the playing is done? LOL
