Comedian Aaron Weber named the bizarre thing he played with as a child. The popular funnyman mentioned that he had an unusual object that, for some reason, became his favorite toy. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear Aaron name the object and why it caused his parents some concern.
As every parent knows, children love playing with toys. Throughout a youngsters childhood, they will accumulate a substantial number of toys. However, not every child's toy is created equal. Children will naturally gravitate toward one toy or another, essentially becoming attached to it. If that object were to go missing, watch out, because a massive meltdown is sure to follow.
When it comes to what toys children gravitate toward and prefer, it is predictable. Many girls will prefer baby dolls, easy-bake ovens and tea sets. Meanwhile, most boys enjoy playing with remote-control cars, BB guns, those little plastic Army men and other action figures. However, as Aaron mentioned in a clip posted on YouTube, he did not prefer any of those stereotypical toys. There was something else entirely that he preferred.
Instead of Play-Doh or a Lite-Brite, Aaron liked the spatula. Yes, the standard, everyday kitchen item was his toy of choice. He said he learned this information during a phone call with his mother.
And my mom goes, 'No, no, yeah, you mostly just played with the spatula,' he said his mother told him. I was like, 'Well, this is going to be a longer phone call than I thought. Did you say the spatula? Like a toy spatula? No, like my spatula from the kitchen.'
Later in the clip, Aaron said his mother admitted that his parents found this rather odd.
'We talked about it every night,' he recalled his mother telling him. 'Every night, your dad and I were like, 'We don't know what's going on with this kid.'
