Miles is way into Fisher Price’s “Little People” series — the videos, the garage, the farm, the little figures with big hands holding useful things like wrenches and pitchforks. Amy was looking into the Little People Sweet Sounds Home, and found this in the Amazon customer reviews:

It might be hard to trade stocks on Wall Street when you have a bottle permanently affixed to your hand. …

At least she’s not breast-feeding. That would be embarassing on the trading floor.
