“I have discovered something
Something that will change our lives
Or more precisely, our childhoods

Toys are not what they seemed to be
For no law of physics can explain the fascination of a child
For plastic dolls and fake cars
The key to this secret is magic
There is sorcery in them which attracts children
Attracts them to fake plastic things
Adults can resist the urge
But children can’t
The spell wears off in a few days
Sometimes months
And that’s why children get bored with toys.”

And that’s how a scientist loses his job
For no sorcery attracts a child to a toy
It’s curiosity
Curiosity that fades as we grow older
For adults have seen the world
But children have not
And toys allow them to see the world
That they have not seen yet
