1. Leonor Rojas:

   I'll buy him some toy to have that day, but I know it's nothing he asked Santa Claus for, Karla Coronado said. For girls there is not much to choose from either. The popular Nerf Rebelle guns are absent from Venezuelan shelves, and the ubiquitous Ever After High dolls or the Equestria Girls are nowhere to be found --- not even in the North Pole. I explained to my daughter that Santa Claus does not have that much money and that probably Nerf Rebelle will only bring her one gift.

2. Aimee Stahl:

   Babies preferentially explored the object if it did something surprising rather than a new toy.

3. Polk County:

   No one in that house, that night, intended for those babies to have that event that occurred, obviously the 3-year-old's not going to be charged with a criminal event, for obvious reasons. That child can't be held accountable for his conduct -- there is absolutely no reason to think that that was an intentional act other than he was a baby playing with what he saw was some sort of toy. But, we will hold the adults appropriately criminally liable for the conduct.

4. Cenap Gumren:

   We saw a life vest, which looked like an empty floating life vest, but we decided to still go check it out. I am so glad we decided to go. When we got close, it looked like a toy, like a doll, and we thought he was dead. My first thought was, 'Okay, we have to pick up this dead baby body from the water.' But when we got closer to him, we heard his moaning.

5. Tom Robbins:

   If little else, the brain is an educational toy.
