Rachel looked angry now, very angry. She turned to a toy play-set nearby and bashed it with her fist. The toy rattled and made several dinging noises. It was brightly coloured and plastic of course, covered in bells and things that could be turned and twisted, knobs and levers. As soon as she’d hit it Rachel found her attention drawn in by the bright noisy toy. She pulled at a blue tab sticking out of the contraption and it immediately produced a satisfying ripping noise. She hit the bell next, then twisted a multi-colour dial, resulting in a crunching sound. It was so engrossing!
As she played with the toy Brian crept up next to her, bopping the bell experimentally. When it rang he too smiled mischievously. Soon they were each banging away at it, twisting and pulling the gizmos, having a grand old time with the Playskool baby’s toy. They barely even noticed when the mamas reappeared from the kitchen.
