Hmmm? Poking your eye with a red hot poker might be more fun. I’ve never been more frustrated with anything in my life as I have with these damn things. I thought having a son would expose me to Lightning McQueen, probably Thomas the Tank, Batman, Spiderman and those sorts of things but not Transformers. I had heard of them but my son was given a huge box full of the damn things.
My world is now full of ‘Autobots’ (the good guys) and ‘Decepticons’ (the bad guys) and intricate, twisted plastic parts that twist and turn and interlock into each other to transform from a simple vehicle of some sort to a lean, mean fighting machine. It’s when I’m trying to wash up or read blogs (how dare my kids interrupt me) that my son asks me to help him. I don’t have a clue in hell how these things ‘click’ together.

Here’s a comprehensive list of the different types of Transformers and their ‘how to’ sheets on how to transform them if you get stuck. Or if you want to frustrate your husband after a hard’s days work, give it to him. They’re just ridiculous. My nearly 5 year old son loves them and I found him putting on the “Transformers” movie today which is only suitable for children aged over 12 years of age. He knows all the names and what they transform to and from. How did he learn this stuff? He was only given the box of Transformers a couple months ago. I’m sure it’s a sixth sense with half of the kids that they just know this stuff.
So to all you Mothers of sons out there, try to avoid any contact between your son and Transformers or else you’ll be poking your eyes out in no time. Who invents these toys?
My brothers had those when we were kids! Thankfully my kids haven't had much to do with these yet… though they are in to Lego, that's almost as bad!
I'd take the red hot poker! 🙂
Those things are a nightmare! Along with lego, magnetics and anything with little bits that have to be made up really.
Soooo, glad those days are past for me.
We now have computer games that I don't understand but that's ok as I don't actually have to play them.
I'm taking the red hot poker too!
Awww…come on! I've been dealing with this boy stuff for 8 years now and I kinda like it 🙂
I choose the eye poking, thank you.
THis is like the one I was telling you Elliot has.
You have got to try them. They are sooo much less frustrating.

Ha ha ha! I had to click over and read this from Friday Frivolity. Thankfully – and I mean this from the bottom of my heart – my son was able to transform and untransform these little suckers himself 95% of the time. But that other 5%. OY!
Ha ha Katy! Okay, now you’re just showing off! LOL Thank goodness my son has outgrown Transformers or else I’d have lost my eyesight by now! lol Thanks for your comment.
