Sock 'em boppers: definitely worth noting. They were indeed 'more fun then a pillow fight,' until a right hook to baloon pop and unconcious victim put an end to the fun--an all to common occurance for this little brother.

These heavy inflatable fist-concealers would serve the three brothers in my family well for a time, until--inevitable 3 years in a row (do parents learn?)--a good solid knock to the temple would be not so soft and cushioned any more. There's nothing like watching the youngest of 3 go flying off his feet and onto the couch unconcious (literally). Merry Christmas indeed.
