A couple of weeks ago I made Kenny a toy car out of a Coke bottle. It was something I saw in a photo essay on kids in Africa (a small child had made the same toy for themselves).

Now that I've found the glue gun, I have finally got the wheels on properly. I gave it to Kenny today.

He promptly hit his mother with it, causing the toy to be taken away and Kenny to be put in the "old" crib for a timeout. Which he hates. Mwhahaha.

Wait, is parenting supposed to make you cackle in an evil way?
