With apparently everyone's bout of popping out babies (something about wanting to hibernate in January seems to have encouraged a load of babies to arrive in September *ahem*) I've decided on two things:
1) I'd like a daughter. I know it's a faux pas to announce this sort of stuff but sod it, I do. Plus, you know - I gotta be able to buy Sylvannian Families again for a daughter. Or have a slightly peculiar son.
2) I have the urge to buy Duplo for toddlers, i.e. my Godson, but Male's insistence that it's for retards makes me hesitant even though I spent many hours happily playing with my Duplo set as a little kid. I did move on to Lego eventually, once I could be trusted with all the little bits.
There must be a guide to buying presents for other people's children - my inclination would be to advise people not to buy anything instrumental (parents would probably not appreciate being drummed / whistled / triangled at at 4am) or anything 'arty' (parents would also probably not appreciate having to scrub off ink / paint stains from the walls / sofa / curtains / ceiling.)
I'm still leaning towards Duplo for him, whilst wishing he had a little sister on whom I could lavish Sylvannian Family donkers upon. little...
