For the nerdy kids

Tomorrow I’m going to a Toys for Tots party, which simply means that guests show up with a toy to contribute to the charity and try not to spill any drinks on them throughout the evening.

I’m bringing a book. After a brief internal debate on whether that counts as a toy, and a quick look at the Toys for Tots web site – which offered no guidance on the matter – I decided to give something for the nerdy boys and girls out there who would rather read a good piece of literature than play with a plastic truck. Here here, kids.

Plus, I’ve been wanting to buy the book “John, Paul, George and Ben” for months now. It’s a beautifully illustrated book, with a cute story of the famed founding fathers. For you parents and gay uncles out there, I highly recommend it.

I’ve also heard from a father/co-worker that The Quiltmaker’s Gift is a good one for the kiddies. That’s only secondhand advice, though.
