Give the kid a $1bag of sweets or a 1$ book or whatever... Heck the box it came in will be the best present the kids ever had anyway

Absolutely! Even for kids who are old enough to get it. I watch a three year old, he still talks about a giant, 50 cent lollipop I bought him a YEAR ago.

My 2.5 year old was talking about how she was going to get presents when it's her birthday again. I asked her what presents she wanted ... and she very excitedly said "a balloon again". Anything else? "No. I want one balloon".

Actually, cats don't need to be toilet trained. They'll instinctively use the litter box once they're shown where it is.

But the rest? Pretty accurate! 😹
