It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a flying exer-saucer

Had no idea that a child could get lift under their exer-saucer. Don't think the manufacturers actually meant to build that functionality in as launching one's self down a staircase isn't good for one's health. Mia has figured out how to jump hard enough to make the exer-saucer with her in it a hovercraft. Sailed across the kitchen yesterday faster than she could crawl. Couldn't even get the camera out fast enough. Really, just for fun, I should email their product development department to suggest it so that some poor fool has to send me a letter back telling me how much they value me buying their product, etc. etc. etc. and how much they appreciate customer's input, etc. etc. etc. and how they will NOT be remarketing their product as the Pepper Projectile Exer-Saucer but that they still consider their customers the most important part of their business. And then, little stickers will appear on their product with explicit statements not to use their product that way. Probably would read, "Caution, should not be used as a hovercraft or a mode of stairway transportation, even on a closed course." One nut suggests it and there you go. Little stickers show up.

They may put the stickers on the future ones, but I wrote a letter to a toy manufacturer once about some other toys and they sent a crate of free stuff! I sort of figured out it was a bribe to keep my mouth shut about what the toys were meant NOT to do! Funny story...how come they don't make those things for us big kids?
