It’s a tale as old as time: new parents, excited about their baby’s first Christmas, go all out, purchasing every brightly colored toy in the aisle, taking care to wrap them and put them under the tree, and ultimately being disappointed when their little ones are way more interested in the crinkly, colorful wrapping paper than the actual gift.
Vlogger Esther Anderson took it upon herself to show us just how real this phenomenon actually is in a video called “Random Things vs. Baby Toys”.
At the end of the video, the official “Random Thing” count was 6, while the “Baby Toy” count was 0.
Color us not surprised!
This one is for all of the parents whose children spend hours playing inside the cardboard refrigerator box, or whose babies simply want to gnaw on the remote control in peace.

Wow, I never thought about that-us parents, are more excited than the babies-who don;t expect anything
Yes kids always choose what they shouldn’t have and that’s a fact !
That’s crazy how the baby chose the random things 100 percent of the time (from the 6 trials). Goes to show we need to keep an eye on them at all times.
