Giant Fun Roller

Auntie went to Washington DC last week and brought back a giant fun roller for the kids. As a service to fellow parents let me just say I've got 2 words to describe this contraption — hell wheel. Part of it is that my kids were in a bad mood yesterday afternoon when they were trying this thing out but part of it is that this thing just doesn't work. My son kept screaming "THIS IS NOT FUN!!!" as he tried to roll around the backyard.

Things to do with fun roller:

  • Watch dog attack fun roller
  • Watch children fight over first use of fun roller
  • Watch older child run over younger child with fun roller

    (pause while older child is put into time out)

  • Watch child push fun roller alone
  • Watch fun roller roll through dog shit
  • Wash crying child's hands

    I'm sure there are families out there who have had good times with their giant fun roller but our experience yesterday was hexed. It felt like the "happy fun ball" SNL skit: Do not taunt giant fun roller. Giant fun roller is not approved for use in the following states: AL, AK, AR. . . (list all states).
