A Cozy Coupe and an Ash Tray?

For Blythe's first birthday my parents, Fancy and Poopaw, gave Blythe a cute little Fisher Price Cozy Coupe. I had a light purple convertible one when I was little and loved it.  My Dad came over to help me assemble the cute little coupe. When we pulled out the instructions it had written instructions in ten different languages, but the English instructions  were illustrations with written sound effects like "click" and "snap". After a brief discussion on what this tell us about the literacy in our country, we dove in "clicking" and "snapping" the parts together. After a hour and a few obscenities the coupe was almost assembled. There was one part left to "snap" on, but we couldn't figure out what it was. We finally found two holes next to the steering wheel and popped it in. My Dad exclaimed " Oh, neat its a little ash tray"! Once we referred back to the illustrations we figured out it was a place for her to put her cell phone. I don't know which one is worse, pretending to smoke or text while driving.

Why use the door when you can go out the window:)
