Another broken toy — and why I won’t replace it

Another one of my kids’s toys broke. A cheap fire truck with sound and lights — dead in months. Like always.

I won’t buy a new one. I’ll fix it. Not for the money — for the lesson my kids take away: broken doesn’t mean trash.

Maker mindset > consumer reflex. 🔧
