Nothing says pain like a Lego in the dark.

The kids’ board game that these precious pieces of plastic came with calls them cones.
I call them purgatory reducers. They are just the thing for stepping on with bare feet in the morning.
Bonus points for not enhancing your children’s vocabularies with what you shout out when it happens.

I second and third the Lego—all those sharp corners and hard little “nubs” on the top! But you can’t discount the wonders of doll shoes and other plastic accessories. They don’t have the corners of Lego (or those cones), but they do have their own torture for bare feet! The best test is not only not enhancing your children’s vocabulary while hopping on the other foot (while extracting the plastic from your sole), but to not wake them! In my experience, this often happens in a dark room while going to check on a sleeping child.
