They came home with this:
A toy, but it does actually work. Apparently, Ben used his birthday money to buy it (and got change; he now has several twonies instead of a twenty, and is certain he came out on top of the transaction).
I cannot fathom why McPie would approve of such a purchase. I can only assume that the neighbours at the far end of the block called to complain that they couldn't clearly make out the detailed content of Ben's top-volume chatter. They felt left out of the community, because everyone else in the neighbourhood knows what's going on in our kid's life on a daily basis.
We are all about neighbourliness. At the expense of our own eardrums and sanity.
