The purple plastic impulse buy bins at Kaboom Toy Store are no longer the permanent residence of a blue squirt-gun stingray. His usual home seems to leave this young, blue ocean dweller restless for bluer waters. In search of exotic and fantastic adventures, Ray has been discovered in such far reaching places as the clear impulse buy bin, the bouncy ball wagon, and most surprisingly of all, among the candy shelves.
Ray certainly didn’t inherit such adventurousness from his relatives. All fourteen members of his immediate family hung patiently and contentedly on their peg until they fell into some small, water-shooter-loving hands. Ray, however, sees beyond the pegs. “There’s a whole store out there to explore,” Ray said quickly when we caught up with him, “I only come home for a change of undies.” Which begs the question: What exactly do stingray underpants look like? Ray was no longer available for comment. He looked like he was heading toward the book section in the farthest reaches of the store.
