I had a really hard time this year when people asked me what to get Jimmy for his birthday. It is a hazard of having boys 18 months apart I guess. I just had a one year old boy not that long ago. I didn’t really need anything. He ended up with some of the normal stuff…some blocks, some clothes and a cool bike thing that will be awesome for this spring and summer from Mom Mom and Pop Pop.

Then there is his gift from his Aunt Kyley. Kyley is one of those super creative artistic types and always gives the best presents to the boys. This was no exception.

At first glance this looks like a pretty normal plate. A little strange sure, but nothing amazing.

Hmmm…the utensils are kinda neat.  A truck spoon and a truck fork. Is that a bulldozer? I is confused.

Then I looked a bit closer and the plate and HOLY COW I done figured it out. Me is smart I tell you. The little slots? The better to stab food that is trying to get away. Think of all the elusive peas that will meet their doom in this booby trap of wonder. 

Then there is the little groove to set the spoon in. Hmmm…How will the help? I then looked closer and noticed the track leading to said spoon groove. Maybe it…?  No. It couldn’t be.

Oh yes, it is.

It is meant to bulldoze food onto the spoon.

Try convincing your kids not to play with their food after they get a load of this!
