My wife and I were the first ones to have kids in her family. All of her siblings got the loudest, largest, and most obnoxious toys for my kids.
Ever since then I have extracted my revenge with glee and tons of malice.
Every Christmas and birthday since, I search out the perfect toy for them.
As my kids have gotten older I have donated their old, loud, and obnoxious toys to them randomly through the year if I am in the area. I am totally the favorite uncle because of it.
My house has slowly become almost toy free.
