Why?

Why do the loudest toys entertain kids the longest...and why do they love to push buttons so much (pun intended - HA)?  We have had this barn on our fridge since Finley was little.  And she was really the only one that ever played with it correctly.  Both boys love to take the animal magnets and just throw them on the floor (which makes the hair on the back of my neck stand on end!).    The batteries are slowly dying and the music now gets "stuck".  I'm tempted to just throw it all in the garbage...would that be wrong?  Would the kids even notice?  

I guess the deciding factor may be whether or not I need a screwdriver to replace the batteries...

or if we have the correct size battery in our drawer.

I have a feeling I would end up digging it out of the garbage though because it is funny to walk into the kitchen and see AJ having a dance party all by himself or to hear both boys get frustrated because they can't get the puzzle pieces in the spot just right.  

Honestly, I have bigger things to worry about and do around the house...so it will probably just stay on the fridge as is and I'll continue to pick up the magnets on a daily basis and mumble "sweet nothings" under my breath!  Ha!

Now that I've wasted a few minutes of my time and yours... :)
