So you gave my son a blinking light at the parade of lights. Turns out two kids ate the batteries when their parents were obviously keeping a close eye on them. Now I get a ten dollar Sobeys card for returning it. Thank you! I also tried to pry open the battery compartment to no avail. It chipped/split my nail and still wouldn't open. I guess this is a bitch about my own stupidity because my finger hurts like hell and bled a little bit. Peace and happy holidays to all, except my damn finger. —10 dollar sobeys card blinking light the richer
