Really? Seriously?
The Smart Cycle Physical Learning Arcade. For ages 3-6 years old. So technically this isn’t my picture I got it from the website above. But I did see it at Walmart today and if I wasn’t so busy trying to keep C♥ in his right mind (going to Walmart is like having a panic attack for him) I would have taken the picture myself. I actually did have my camera on me.
Are kids so fat and lazy today that they can’t just go outside and ride a bike? That riding down the street getting fresh air isn’t as exciting as playing a video game? Even if it may be educational? I think more parents should get their kids to play outside instead of letting them expand on the couch.
On another note: The first thing we saw walking into Walmart was a very pregnant lady wearing a middrif exposing tiny t-shirt in the dead of winter. Ew! (if I didn’t feel like the awful paparazzi I would have tried to take a pic) And I’m not saying this because she was prego, I don’t like seeing overweight guys baring their stomachs either. Cover up!

Hmmm. That Learning Arcade would actually work in a Philippine city setting. I wouldn’t want my little kid biking around in the city, what with all the pollution and shady characters.
That is, if I don’t end up raising my future family in nice gated village with fresh air and 24 hour security

Clarification: I was referring to those lazy parents in the US who would rather plop their kid in front of the tv instead of taking them outside. Overweight kids with health problems are beginning to be the norm (it’s not surprising with the lack of exercise and vast majority of McDonalds & Burger Kings). There are specials airing on 20/20 that try to bring attention to it . Not to mention the Maury episodes where 2 year-olds are walking around gnawing on whole chicken legs and can’t fit into toddler diapers.

That looks ideal for Pac Islander mums (like mine) who don’t want their kids to get “dark” so that “no one will want to marry them” when they grow up.
I think it’s quite sad, though.
