(Other possible contents for your “toy box”: clown nose (try putting on one of these the next time someone yells at you – the effect may turn out to be more of an adjustment for the other party than for you!); bubble blower; silly putty; juggling balls; special momentos from past vacations (a piece of shell that you picked up on that beach in the Caribbean, a small rock from that hike in the Grand Canyon (oops – probably a national park violation!), that piece of volcanic rock from the big island of Hawaii, etc.); a transformer (no, not something that connects to a model railroad – ask your kid.)
