Rant about Boots marketing

Ok, I may go on a bit of a rant here, so here goes!

I have just received a flyer through the post from Boots. I love Boots - it is an oasis of girliness in a harsh, harsh world.

However, their Parenting Club magazine has a claim that their talking toys will 'turbo-boost those talking and listening skills.'

Grrrrrrr.

Heaven's above - do they really think that we believe that?

Learning about talking and listening with a plastic toy instead of with real people. How has the human race got thus far without such things before?

I'm off to stamp about and complain to my little lad's talking bus.

And breath out!
