Cheaply Manufactured Toys Suck II

So I went by Wal-Mart and stood in line and exchanged Quinn's defective Styrofoam airplane today after work. Quinn really liked playing with it. Of course, he wouldn't let Catherine play with it. Later though when he wanted to ride his scooter Catherine saw her chance and came over to play with it, and broke it within 5 seconds. The section she broke was the flap at the end, which is of course the thinnest piece. I really want to believe she didn't do it on purpose and was just trying to pick it up wrong, but she did break it multiple times (but that could be because it fell when it broke the first time and maybe she just tried to pick it up again). Quinn got really upset, and then I got upset with Catherine for breaking it and because it had upset Quinn so much. Eventually she apologized to Quinn. You can see he's still mad while she's apologizing, because he has the hands on the hip thing going (they've both picked that up from someone in our household, but I'm not naming names).
