When it comes to the toddler toys in our home, reasonably foreseeable misuse usually happens at the highest possible occurrence rate, causing the manifestation of hazardous situations that are unforeseeable to even the most experienced toy manufacturers. Somehow, toys too are designed in such a way that our kids invariably misconstrue their intended uses and use environments. Videlicet, this stroller, which is the most awkwardly sized baby buggy known to mankind.
This stroller belongs to the loot obtained by dint of Pavana's conquests on Facebook Marketplace, the nonpareil of the Marché aux Puces de internet based commodity economics. The principal purpose of this stroller was ordained to be that of a simple playtime diversion for Mira wherein she would be expected to place members of her collection of stuffed simulations of little animals and humans in the stroller and wheel them around the house. The amusing thing is that Mira used the stroller according to its intended use literally once. Since then the stroller has only served purposes necessitated by other unrelated games. For instance, last Friday she loaded the stroller with a small plastic duck, three magnet-tiles and some rocks from her rock collection (originally from our landscaping, which has been long decimated), and left it on the deck. The poor stroller endured the weight of all these objects and stood quietly on the deck for two full days, weathering the harshest of suns and heaviest of rains. On Sunday morning, Mira decided to bring the stroller back into the house, all wet and mucky. She threw her choicest tantrum to convince us to not only let her ruin her outfit by sitting in the stroller amid all the muck but also have Medha ‘stroll’ her around the house like a politician being driven around on canvassing rounds!
