I usually just leave it at the first one and call it good. One of my favorite sayings is "he who dies with the most toys wins"

There is also another saying, boys don't stop playing with toys, it's just the price/size of his toys that change. I guess it would be PC to include women in that too.

Yeah, I have a feeling that my Mom didn't feel that way when I was a kid!

Mother's just never understand the toy game...I know mine certainly didn't!

I can't be bothered to wait for Christmas anymore...I just buy 'em year around and save the shock of that January credit card bill ;)

Mine actually doesn't seem to mind the toys, it is when I want to use her money to buy them. :)
