A wonderful story wonderfully told!!!

Fantastic story Mike! And the ending was classic.
I expected some sort of psychology-laden answer from Zander. But it's just about toys! And that fact leaves you pretty much free to remarry too. ;)

What a great story, Mike. Thanks for sharing!

The story reminded of the Art Linkletter show about kids. They are often so literal minded and that can be refreshing. Perhaps that's why little ones can take better pictures than me, they have a simpler eye.

A fine story and excellent reminder of the many possible layers beneath a story. Growing up an only child I wonder if I employed any kid wisdom with my parents to ensure a constant flow of MY toys.....
