Move over MacGyver

Here is why I love being a Dad. Because you quickly realize that toys are just a distraction to the things that really catch a kids attention. Check out the "toys" Caden, now 3 1/2, went to bed with tonight:


*a large, red rubber band
*a hanger
*a belt
*a drumstick
*a Cowboy Woody plastic lasso
*a Lightning McQueen car
*ohhh...."and a flashlight Dad in case a bear comes into my room

Eat your heart out MacGyver! If you are too young to understand the MacGyver reference, let me catch you up on some 1980's pop culture. MacGyver was the main character in a TV show of the same name. In every episode this ex-secret agent he found himself in a life-or-death situation. He would use common household items like bubble gum, duct tape & dish soap to escape and make bombs that would blow up the bad guys. Any MacGyver fans out there?
