LOL! What a story. Oh, I have nothing to add. I agree with all of the above.

The key to the successful “elimination” of a toy is wrap, wrap, wrap. Newspaper, foil and tupperware are great noise diminishers. Also, multiple layers of old sweat socks. Then bury the toy as low as possible in the garbage. If you still get busted then deny, deny, deny.

I know this would be impossible in your “state,” but just try to remember this for next time!

I vowed never to buy my niece and nephew toys with batteries, and so far I have managed.

I would have thrown it out the door, the drowning was far more creative–and entertaining. I doubt it will raise your therapy debt too high–it will be a great story to tell them when they can appreciate it!

My uncle had his kids later in life than my father. My father thought it would be great to give his nephew a drum set. My uncle locked it up until we went on a joint vacation. I still hold a grudge against my father for making my teenage self be awakened by that drum–but it’s never come up in thearapy.

This is good. This is damn good. Being a father of not-so-sound mind, I know exactly what you speak of – except our possessed toy of choice is a Wiggles microphone.

I KNOW this keychain! My mom keeps one around for her DOG! Must have been the best money someone ever spent because years and years go by and the damn thing never dies. And I will vouch for the fact that it is mind-numbingly annoying during the waking hours. You were justfified in drowning it.

first of all,tell tale heart is my favorite edgar allen poe story!
second…we had this key chain, with an elephant on it…actually, a teething thing…anyway…it kept making elephant noises in the middle of the night. one night, my husband got so angry at it that he stuck it
in the freezer…where, it still wouldn’t shut up, until…it froze to death.
death to all noise toys with no off buttons!

Edgar Allen Pooh!!! Hahahahahaha!!!

You’re not a bad parent, Dan. Just a sloppy one. Everyone knows you have to hide the evidence. You’d have remembered that if you weren’t sauced. It happens.
