There are some things about daily life that I find puzzling.
Why do eleven year-old boys insist upon wearing shorts and calf-length black socks to school in 30-degree weather?
How is it that there is always an 8:00 am girls’ basketball game scheduled on the morning after an impromptu, but decidedly rocking and extended neighborhood happy hour?
Will Gangnam Style ever go off the airwaves?
Some of these puzzles keep me awake at night and eat away at my sanity, meager as it is.
And so when my homies at ThinkFun asked if my family and I wanted to try out one of their newest products called The Daily Puzzle, you can probably understand my hesitation.
Life is puzzling enough as it is, friends.
But at The Small One’s insistence, we took ThinkFun up on their offer.
And I’m so very glad that we did.
You see, while some of life’s puzzles are merely annoying, The Daily Puzzle is actually a fun challenge.
And a perpetual calendar.
All in one.
Isn’t it cute? It’s a set of interlocking pieces, that, when arranged properly, keeps tabs on the date.
The Small One had a fantastic time stretching his spatial reasoning skills and counting down the days until Christmas last week…
And I know that he’ll continue to enjoy it in the coming days, weeks, and months.
I just love toys that teach, don’t you?
And, being the gracious folks that they are, ThinkFun will send another Daily Puzzle to one fortunate reader. Win one of these babies? And you’ll be living Gangnam Style, my friends.
I’m sorry…did I just say that?
Anyway.
