A few weeks ago I watched a spy movie with my kids. Now this was no James Bond or Jason Bourne movie. It was made for kids and was appropriately cheesy. But it really got my kids into spy gear. They started pestering me to get them spy glasses and little mini cameras and night vision goggles.
As a parent you generally ignore it when your kids get into something new and ask you for all the related gadgets, because you know it is just a phase and they will soon tire of it. You end up with a lighter wallet and a house with even more clutter. You have even more unused stuff. I did not need a house full of unused spy gadgets.
That said one of the gadgets they wanted did appeal to me. It was the night vision goggles for kids . I wanted a pair of real ones for myself, but they are quite expensive. Instead, I bought a bunch of children’s night vision goggles for myself and for my children. Then we went on a mission.
