I have a theory, and though some may call me crazy, every mother of small children out there will agree...the toy manufacturers have launched an evil plot to take over the world with small plastic pieces of junk. It's really a very well disguised plot. You take your children to McDonald's for lunch and they give you two cute little plastic toys with the Happy Meals. The children go home, throw the toys into a drawer, a box, or a bin, and promptly forget about them. The little toys sit there looking innocent...until you turn off the lights. Then they begin to procreate like rabbits. The next morning, what was two Happy Meal toys has turned into four, or even six.
Think about it. There is no other possible explanation for why my house looks like this a mere 8 weeks after cleaning it thoroughly after Christmas:
I mean, really, if you had seen the amount of stuff we got rid of after Christmas, you would realize there is no way we could have this much stuff already! It's a conspiracy, I tell you! Someday all those little plastic toys will come to life and take over the planet. Then maybe they'll wrap us all in little plastic bags and stick us in boxes as revenge. Until then, I guess I'll continue with the "spring clean" fever which has gripped me....
