One thing I've noticed, having 3 small children, is how today's toys compete with each other for attention. If it has batteries, it exhibits the same needy behavior: About a minute after you put it down, it will cry out something like "Play with me!" or "Let's sing another song!". It's really irritating when you put a baby down to sleep, sneak out of the room, and a couple of the toys cry out their last desperate attempt to be played with. I'd like to [meet] the genius that dreamed up this idea.
