electric guitar with buttons that make the volume go up and down or make the music slower or faster. aghhhhhh......
also those melissa and doug puzzles that make noise when you put the piece in the right place. we had the animal one and it would make random animal noises on it's own...i would hear a cow moo at 4 am. |

My mom tells everyone that as a kid, I loved the cardboard boxes more than the gift they contained.
My roomate from college is a firm believer in letting her child play with pots and pans on the floor in the kitchen while she cooks. (She sent us a picture of a pyramid he had made simply from safe things he gave him from the cabinet.) She puts all the "toys" (gifts) in a big canvas box in view and reach of her son. He always goes for the pots and pans, and is probably one of the most creative, chill, resourceful children I have met. Oh, and those toys that resurrect themselves after you think their batteries are dead, and talk back to you in the middle of the night? They scare the hell out of me. I told my husband that possessed toys had taken over our house. Hate them. |

| Electronic toys without an off switch. The best is when you step on one in the middle of the night and it goes into its minutes-long song, with no way to shut it off. Dropped one out a window once. |

Any toy that makes noise at all 17:00, my husband is an only child so how is it that my MIL is bringing you the singing trees, jumping pumpkins, flipping Santas, and assorted noisy and IRRITATING piece of crap Hallmark noisemakers...er...toys -- I HATE THEM. Oh and my husband told MIL how much I love them and think they are so cute...been a long time since he has had a blowjob. |

ITA, any toy that requires batteries and beeps, flashes, sings, shakes, buzzes or talks. I am proud to announce here anonymously that I have thrown out or donated every single one that made its way into our house in the past 6 years.
There is a special circle in hell reserved for Elmo, because of the above and because he ruined old school Sesame Street too. |

| My mom gave my DD that penguin slide toy where the penguins climb the stairs and then slide down the slides. So mesmorizing but the sound it makes is unbearable. Sometimes the penguins have to take a nap or Mommy will be hitting the bottle! |

| LOL! That dog is annoying but my girls loves it. And, she dances like a fool (cute fool) when that guy (girl?) sings. But, it will occasionally start up w/o being touched and freak me out! |

My MIL has these too! From the last 5 years - Valentines, Halloween, Christmas. My DD lines them all up there are so many. Fortunately, my MIL keeps them at her house so I don't care about them so much. Plus, the batteries are always running out - darn! |

| That damn ball popper! Fortunately my son likes to stick lots of other things in it (socks, blocks, spoons), so it gets "broken" on a regular basis. |

Leapfrog phonics: "A says A, and A says Ah, every letter makes a sound, A says A and Ah" combined with pushing the song button over and over and over so you hear the beginning of the "A B C D..." song over and over and over and over
And I can't get rid of it because it's "educational" and my kids love it... |
