Huh, it looks like it should be small enough.
Damn GW pic sizing kb rules.
Nice rant Laurie! The bit about children being empty vessels is very true. Fill them with love, kindness and joy and you will get out the same in spades. I do like the idea of donating old toys to charity/needy children. I have to say though, when Ben misuses his toys, I tell him I'll take them off him and give them to needy children. He gets very upset at the thought... but he does look after them after that. Until next time anyway. Needy children and "A police man will come and tell you off" are pretty much the only necessary discipline tools in this house.
Jumble, after the red stripey top boy it was more of the same. He was horrible. How does a child get like that? No, don't answer that, I've seen it in practice. 
One child at the end told his parent's to... uh, do something very rude I won't repeat. It made me sad to see people treating their parents this way, and sad to see parents humiliating them by filming them for TV this way.
Benjabubs still has fruit in his stocking. Tradition dictates a satsuma, a walnut (and this is where the nutcrackers always go missing), a magazine, some colouring pencils and a cheap nasty pound shop toy that will break in minutes. It was good enough for me.
