Toy Handcuffs

Toy manufacturers have added handcuffs to their inventory.  Maybe they’ve always been there as a toy but I never noticed because of toy guns.  They seem to be the preferred make believe for growing boys who want to rule the world.  It is possible.

Ronald Reagan played with guns in Hollywood and later became the president of the U.S.A.  The media loves interviewing famous and notorious people.  I can just imagine a convicted murderer on television.

“I’ve always wanted to be in jail.  I played with handcuffs when I was little”.
A little boy played with his handcuffs in a public place last week.  He showed his mum once he heard the handcuffs click but, she was on a trip massaging her cellphone.

I suppose it is all legal, because there must be a body that regulates toy manufacturers.  When the cellphone burst into the scene, they made mini cellphones for kids.

Toys can influence career choices.  Little boys in India use real cricket bats or make them from anything because of the dream of being the next Sachin Tendulkar.  It’s soccer in Africa.
Parents buy them soccer balls.  They are also very creative in making toys, using recycled materials to kick around.  They might end up like Kolo Toure, who is presently coaching for Celtic Football Club.
Toy handcuffs from the dollar store also help kids with their dreams, I guess: to wear the orange prison lockdown uniform and tattoos.
