Day 5.044: Fast food! Good toy?!

We are not immune to the call of fast food, although we try to eat in those places as little as possible.  On Monday evening, however, we found ourselves rather late in the day without any food prepared or in mind and decided to pack ourselves off to Wendy's.

I expect Wendy's food to be a little better than McDonalds and it works out a bit better for Exile #2 for GF stuff. However, I never hold out much hope for the toys that the kids inevitably get in their kid's meals.  Admittedly they almost never break and any that make noise will continue without hint of battery expiration for countless years, but in terms of actual play-value, most score close to zero.

This was an exception.  E5N1 got this excellent tracing machine.  The picture goes in the left side and then, looking at the reflection in the half-mirrored centre window, you can trace a mirror image of the drawing on the the other side.  Here he is in action:


He did several pictures as did Exile #4. Presumably Exile #3 is too cool for this now, but I'm not - when's my turn?
