If you could press a button that would magically and permanently give you a deep, pervasive enjoyment for playing with toddler's toys (fake food, plastic trucks, stuffed animals), would you do it?

Is this obliquely about cosplay?

What if I already have a deep pervasive joy when playing with well made organic children toys??? No hope for me.

Where is the button for “I already have this”

I prefer toys for slightly older children – wind-up cars, Tinker Toys, etc.

I stopped doing acid in '98, but back then, that was the button that would equate to your question (other than the permanence stipulation).

What happens if you already have the deep pervasive enjoyment? Do you lose it? Cause no way in hell am I pressing the "take away my ability to have fun with my imagination" button.

How do you think I spend my afternoons already?

Replying to

Wow, really surprising results. Thought everyone would say yes. What's the downside? You life has net more enjoyment.

What if you already do this because you're an interactive parent?
