Everything is Broken

Curses to the manufacturers of cheap plastic toys which break easily and often, and to the grandparents and other well-meaning but misguided people who give them to my children. They are always broken within 24-hours of arriving at our house despite repeated warnings issued by yours truly to, "be careful." But no matter how much I warn my little product testers, they always seem genuinely shocked when the item of questionable quality breaks. So instead of issuing a stern "I told you so," I console my broken-hearted child and mutter the curse again, under my breath.
