Regardless of how I feel about them, every little girl in the neighborhood has at least one doll stroller, and they all fight over them, so, naturally, I had to get one for Lavagirl for her 2nd birthday, last August. Instantly, it was the bane of my existence. The seat part is removable, and was removed 89% of the time, leaving a bare bones stroller frame for poor little baby dolls to perch on. After a month or two it got chucked into the garage, with plans to eventually glue it on or something.
So recently, a neighbor kid spotted the stroller frame in the garage and demanded that I put it together. A couple weeks later, I found the $%&*#@ seat part, and we started going through the same removal, fix, remove, fix, remove process. ARRgh!!!! One morning, fully caffeinated, I had had enough of the whine, whine, whine, fix my stroller, blah blah blah. Luckily I was having to look around for glue, and it hit me. If I glued it, I wouldn't be able to take it off and wash it if, lets say, someone decided to use it as a wheel barrow. So, I grabbed some ribbon, sewed it on, and tied it with knots onto the frame.
YAY!!! NO MORE WHINING!! IT'S BEEN ON FOR A FEW WEEKS WITHOUT BEING TAKEN OFF!!

Um, I think you've hit on something here, Peg. Very cool.
Nice thing about a blog is that it would be very easy to turn these funny daily antics into a book! You crack me up.
