Child Upset at Being Taken To Old-Timey Toy Shop

Tommy, 9, was first quite pleased at the news that he was going to be taken to a toy shop and that he could pick out any toy of his choosing, after having gotten a 96% on his spelling test. Things took a turn, however, once he saw the shop itself.

“Where are the video games?,” gasped Tommy, after running around looking at the charming shelves full of books, stuffed animals, and board games, “Puzzles? Seriously? I mean I wanted a toy, but not like this. Not like this.”

The Wooden Toy, owned by proprietor Fanny Greenbaum, 74, has been providing outdated toys to the community for years. “Most of our customers are desperate uncles who wander in, sweating, and only have a few minutes to find something for a niece or nephew they haven’t seen in years. The child, who is invariably expecting a normal, modern toy, will instead get one of my handcrafted, one-of-a-kind pieces and hate it. We don’t do returns,” noted Fanny, while smiling malevolently.
