[QUOTE="donna723, post: 402280, member: 1883"] When my kids were little we lived close to my brother and his family - they had three kids and we had two. Since we always exchanged gifts for the kids for Christmas and birthdays, my sister in law and I had an agreement. We NEVER bought each others' kids any toys that ran on batteries and/or made obnoxious noises. My daughter only had one toy that "mysteriously disappeared" after a very short time. It was this round red plastic thing with a face on it and when you opened the mouth up, there were little square "teeth" that were buttons you could push like piano keys. It wasn't really "music" ... more like super loud buzzers with different pitches. Somehow the batteries "got lost" and it was no fun anymore. It did no good to remove the batteries from any of the toys that my son had! From the time he was old enough to walk, that kid could take the batteries from one thing (usually the TV remote) and put them into something else! He was really good at it! And he did it so often that the battery covers on most of our electronics were worn out and were held closed with scotch tape! [/QUOTE]
