The Paint Game

Cal's The Paint Game - good for wasting a few minutes...

Me - I got 2/10. As a proper bloke should - a bloke recognises red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, pink, brown, black, grey and white. Possibly British Racing Green, too. And that's it.

Hmmm - I got a rather scary 4/10 the 2nd time through...

For the less aspirational parent

Are you worried that your child might grow up to make a ton of cash? That they might learn a profession, become an accountant, a programmer, or (shudder) a lawyer?

Or worse, that they might become a really useful member of society? A nurse, a doctor, a teacher, a firefighter?

Well, worry no more! Just get them the McDonald's Food Cart with Play Food, and show them what you expect of them. (Available in the UK from the ever classy Woolworths.)
