Some adult assembly required

These words should be a major RED flag to all parents! "Assembly required" is never a good sign. But "Some adult assembly required"?? Come on people!! Kids are smarter than us at these things! If adults are needed....I am in trouble!

The picture above is of Seth's "Radiator Springs" car track. The commercials are wonderful! The packaging great! The "some adult assembly" is written in very small letters! I should have known! I suppose that manufacturers think that like childbirth, a mom might forget just how painful the assembly part is before you purchase your next toy. I have decided from this point forth, my memory will be excellent:)

But, the real hitch is this.....they are banking on the knowledge that when they have a product that is so yucky to put together it better be awesome when assembled. If my computer had ears it would tell you that at least one little boy is crazy excited about his car track!! Makes it hard for me to even blog of the assembly when Seth is so excited about the end product!!
