The Chronic Consumer

With my son’s birthday coming up shortly, Jerry and I have decided to go retro with the gift. Instead of getting him some video game that he’ll get tired of playing in two weeks, we’ve been looking at kids wagons. We think this would be a great choice because it will get our son outside and moving around instead of glued to the television. Plus, wouldn’t it be absolutely adorable to see him pulling our dogs or his friends from the neighborhood in that thing?

I think there are a few classic toys that every child should have. A little red wagon is definitely one of them. I had one when I was a kid, and clearly remember how much I loved to play with it. Will a child of the digital age feel the same way about such a low-tech toy? We’ll see!
