Pickle Pete earned some major uncle brownie points the week we visited by getting his nephews each their own Larry Boy Mobile complete with Larry Boy and Alfred figures, we are big Veggie Tales fans. One of his sons already owned this set and man, who knew a Christian based toy could cause such fussing and fighting?! The three boys just couldn't get along as long as that toy was in the room. We finally put a ban on it and hid it away, which caused much fussing and gnashing of teeth. When Uncle Pete pulled these out the boys' eyes grew 10 sizes and they acted like it was some kind of trap. You could see the wheels turning, "Alright, so they say it's mine but I've gotten in so much trouble for touching this very toy for days. Do they really mean it's mine or do they just like getting onto us?" They finally trusted us and all three boys played and "shared" happily for the rest of the week. Larry Boy can say it but Uncle Pete can claim it for himself "I am that hero!"
The three boys with their new toys, still managing to look grumpy, and poor little Z-man who seemed to take the brunt of the kids' selfishness.
