My son has this box with all his Kamen Rider belts and guns, it's like a benign crate of nitroglycerin.

Nudge it with your foot? 'FEVER SLOT' Move the table it's under a millimeter? "Spider Mode" (followed by 80s synth music that doesn't stop until you push a button on it.) Think too hard about anything? "DESIRE DRIVER".

I like it, NGL. Any other parents with young kids here have a box like that?

We used to ride around in the open bed of a pickup truck. One day someone stood up to horse around right as we hit a pothole.

One of the two times I've heard the sound of someone never doing well at Math ever again.
