Morgan’s Birthday Wish

This weekend Morgan was talking about his birthday. He's been asking for a soccer ball for months, and we're telling him he'll get one if he's good. (Translation: he'll get one.) However, this time when I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, he said "Giant Robot".

What can you say to that?

1. Giant robots are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain.
2. Giant robots are big and tend to cause damage to buildings, like our house.
3. Giant robots are noisy. We still regret getting you that kazoo and that drum.
