What Toy Do You Regret Buying for Your Child?

I think I regret buying her a recorder. They had them on sale at WalMart today for 50 cents. Now she's happily tooting away on her brand new recorder while mommy is rooting around for some Exederine. Other than that lovely musical instrument, I really regret getting her those giant Legos... I have a scar on my foot from a rather disasterous trip to the bathroom one night... How about you? Any toys you have gotten for the sweet cherubs in your life that you later wish were never invented?

I agree about the legos because I ruined many a good vaccuum cleaner from the small ones.

I prethink whatever I get her so there's no later regret. Unfortunantly her grandparents have a sick sense of humor. My daughter wails like a banshee when she sings. What does her grandfather get her but a karokee machine to amplify it to glass shattering levels. Oh , my poor ears!!!

Play Station, I have not bought another game system since. My child all he wanted to do was spend all day on it, he didnt want to do anything else. I couldnt stand it. We have taken it away and now he reads all the time.
