The Farmer Takes A Wife

So if you read yesterday's post, you know that I was playing with my granddaughter, Lily's Fisher Price little people.

She also has a Fisher Price little people farm. I guess there are a few different versions out there. My daughter bought this one used. It's in excellent condition, but it did NOT come with the original box.

There are little stalls in the barn that have small squares in them. You put the appropriate animal on the square (pushing down while you place the animal in the stall) and you hear "baa", or "oink-oink", etc.

"Baa"
"Moo"

"bawk, bawk bawk"

Cute, yes?

Okay. Here's where it gets kinky.

The barn opens up. The farmer's BEDROOM is on the second floor of the barn. Right next to the tool bench. 'Cause EVERYBODY has a tool bench in their bedroom!


I am NOT mistaken. That blue thing IS a bed, right?

And see that blue knob?

You twist it to the right......

Wait, wait....I'm getting ahead of myself.

First, let's get the farmer and wife in bed.



Then, ACTION!

(Jim is doing the honors while I was taking pictures.)

FIRST came the farmer,

THEN came his wife,

BOTH shot out of bed,

LANDING on their head.

Now I ask you, what is the purpose of this? Am I missing something here? I found this exact barn on line and read the description of it, but NOWHERE does it describe the flipping bed.


Granted, it was F-U-N flipping Mr. & Mrs. Farmer around. We even flipped the pig out, as evidenced by him lying there next to the couple on their heads.

What do you think?
