The Happiness Machine

Morning started with tears when we told Paige that she would have to stay home from school because she had been throwing-up all night. Yes, she was actually crying because she didn't want to stay home; she wanted to go to school.

Well lucky for us, Aiden made this fabulous Happiness Machine, (the contraption in the picture that looks just like a cash register. Yeah, ironic, I know.) to calm the tears. According to the manufacturer of the machine, all you have to do to create happiness is know the right code, type it into the machine, then press the button, and voile, your environment is immediately infused with happiness. Does it work? Well, let's just say that individual results may vary.

Later, he asked me what else he should make. I told him to build a machine that would automatically clean the house. He brought me the vacuum. True story.
