Three times the size

As a child, I loved all those magic toys. Anything that would allow me to perform was good in my book.

When Zoe and I went to Michael's to get painting supplies, I saw these on their $1 aisle.

I couldn't pass them up.

I got a couple glasses of warm water. I knew Zoe would be amazed at the little pill turning into a sponge farm animal. Quite honestly, who wouldn't be amazed. A capsule the size of a multi-vitamin being able to contain a foam animal. It's like the 8th wonder of the world. You know, right after the Taj Mahal and self-cleaning mini-blinds. Actually I'm not sure it can compare to self-cleaning mini-blinds because if someone would invent that they would deserve a Nobel Peace Prize and most of my admiration. If you've never had to clean mini blinds consider yourself the luckiest person ever.

We put the capsules in the water and waited.

And waited.

And waited.

I know it's supposed to be amazing and all, but a 2 year old does not have enough attention to wait the 5 minutes it takes for a horse to suddenly appear.

Quite frankly, neither do I. I helped them along and we got a goat, rooster, sheep and something that resembled a horse that hadn't had a drink in about a million years.

He just looks sad about being the green horse in a capsule.

His life purpose was to make a 2 year old "nay" in excitement.

He should be proud, she won't even do that for me.
