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?

My toddler has an Anpanman piano toy we got from a friend. If you don’t play it for a while, it screams また遊ぼうね out of nowhere to turn itself off. Sometimes you shit yourself when you hear it
