Rose and her friend Hannah were playing together the other evening. They were discussing how toys came to life when people left the room. I'm presuming this conversation came about because Toy Story 1 and 2 will be making a reappearance in theaters and advertising has been high. They were trying to determine how to catch these sneaky little toys and their shenanigans and came up with the brilliant idea of setting up a video camera.
And so that's what they did. They got a video camera and set it up in the play room, aiming it right where all the toys were congregated. They turned the camera on and left the room. All of this was done quite nonchalantly since they didn't want to tip any off any of the toys (or the parents) as to what was going on.
An hour later they returned, only to find that the camera had recorded only a couple of minutes of no action, and then it went blank. There then followed a great debate about whether the battery had simply died or the toys had cottoned on to the whole scheme and sent an envoy to turn off the camera. The toy scenario was definitely winning in the debate, the general consensus being it was the reindeer, because the reindeer could have moved around without being seen, having never been in the lens.
By this time Sabrina had joined in the conversation. Her contribution was to hide the camera before you turn it on so the toys don't know what you are doing. I guess I know what side of the nanny cam debate she'll be on when she grows up. Their play date ended before a second attempt at creating a video could be done, but their imaginations are so captivating, they have actually got me wondering what they will catch on film next time they try.
