One of RantWoman's Also an Auntie but not a Parent friends confessed one time that she considered "noisy toys and fingerpaints" the ideal gifts for nieces and nephews.
Irrepressible Nephew had plenty of people in his life who gave him noisy toys. It's just that the noisy gifts were all batter-operated and his mother was mysteriously VERY adept at losing the batteries.
If RantWoman had been into noisy presents, RantWoman would not have messed around with anything battery-powered. The kid would have had a real drum and maybe a Little Drummer Boy tape too. As it was, RantWoman's preferred problematic gifts were...pomegranates. Now the pomegranates are a joke.
RantWoman is not sure whether the average mom of a newborn would be thrilled to receive a drum solo either, but RantWoman is so thoroughly charmed by this version of Little Drummer Boy that it is here for all to enjoy.
