A struggling playdate in progress at the corner of Been There and Done That. Two boys, ages 4 and 5, appear uninterested in the rattles and plush crowding the playroom. An officer responds.

Officer: Can you confirm the presence of Mighty World action figures, cars, and trucks?

Dispatch: Negative. Looks like they could use the pint-size characters and detailed environments that encourage imaginative play.

O: Entering now with Mighty World’s Complete Emergency Response set with ambulance, motorcycle, and patrol car. Policemen equipped with barriers and cones. Paramedics’ gurney and EMS kit ready for unforeseen injuries.

D: Looks like a construction set is headed that way, too. You may want to prepare the premises for pouring concrete and a skid steer.

O: Sister, age 7, just joined in.

D: Sending backup.
