They say that young children can do things that adults don't even know about. So, imagine: somewhere in one of the cities, in one of the houses, there is a special secret chat in which only children under the age of five can communicate.

Chat participants: Tolik (3 months), Kirill (3.5 years), Irisha (4 years), Milana (1 year), Vanechka (10 months)

(23:03. Irisha joined the chat)

Irisha: Bratva, there is a case! I urgently need to add my favorite playpen.  

Kirill:  🤔

Irisha: Well, yes, I'm an adult girl - I don't need him anymore. But also enterprising - I'll give it for half price. 

Kirill: Sell it?? Mother, you're crazy.  Who's going to buy it from you? I threw mine away six months ago. 

Irisha: Why? 😱

Kirill:  There is only one torment! The bottom is made of hard oilcloth, and the mesh is stretched around it, like in a cage. When they put me in there, he was shouting obscenities. As I recall

Irisha: And what are you? It's strange... he faked the zipper with his finger, opened it, and you crawl where you need to.  I always knew that all men are lazy.

Kirill: And I always knew that all girls are dreamers and dreamers. What's the window??? The solid grid is a checkered sky. I have an old one! That's what Mom said: your uncle was still in it. HE WAS SITTING!!!! "Guess what? 

Irisha: Kiriukha, are you really talking about the arena? Maybe you have a different model? What's the name? 

Kirill: “The children's round playpen “Rucheek" GOST and some kind of figures...

Irisha: Fi. I did the right thing by throwing it away. Can you buy mine? My little grey, remember? It's called Carrello Grande.  😘😘😘  And with a window, and with a soft mattress, and the mesh around it is transparent, like a haze. It's like you can see everything around you, but at the same time you feel like the mistress of your little house. I'll invite anyone I want, and if I don't want to, no one will dare to come in without knocking. I played in it, and slept, and rested, and watched cartoons on my tablet.

Kirill: Send me a picture, I'll give it to Dad.…

(09:22 Tolik enters the chat)

Tolik: Why didn't you sleep so late last night??? Reread you later.… I've seen it in Cyril's line. Do you remember when my mom and I came to your place for fish pie? It's not even like a playpen. A pet cage! And not a place conducive to the development of the average modern child.

Kirill: Stop trolling me! 😡 We 've already thrown it away !

Irisha: It's not like mine, is it, Tolik? A real modern device for a full-fledged and (most importantly!) the child's safe stay during the partial absence of adults. 

Kirill:  Oh, that's it!!! You're pretending to be adults here. 

(Kirill exits the chat)

(Vanechka enters the chat)

Vanechka: You have an interesting conversation. And what exactly are the differences? And what are the parameters that support the right playpen? My parents and I are, so to speak, on the verge of buying the device described above. Just the agony of choice. And I don't like anything, maybe we're not looking there? Please give me a link, pliz.

Tolik: I don't know, I personally have a crib.

Vanechka: Which one?

Tolik: A side door.

Vanechka: And what is she bothering about?

Tolik: What are you trying to do

Vanechka:  Yes, you answer normally!!! I'm getting the word out of you.

Tolik: Don't yell. I asked about the arena. Shortly And I have a crib. Carrello Aria is called. Actually, it's a new thing. I wouldn't get out of it at all- sometimes I imagine it's my airship. Or a submarine. Especially when Mom is pulling a mosquito net from above. It's like being in a cabin!  Except that you only want to hold your mother's hands from time to time - after all, the child needs tactile contact with adults. And you, little one, as the younger generation, I think it's the playpen that you need. 

Vanechka:  Really - you're getting smart! Three years old, and you start here… Explain it normally - WHAT! THIS! THIS! 👿👿👿

Tolik: Hey, rookie! You're not even a year old! Listen to the elders! In short, look. There is a large basket on top. There's another one at the bottom for things. The mattress is soft!!! There's a lock on the side of the wall - a chick: and to your mother on the handles! And Dad also says: compact. But I do not know what it means, I need to Google it. 

Vanechka: And who chose this crib for you?

Tolik: So Dad chose it! I was very glad that it could be folded and taken with me both on picnics and on long trips.

Vanechka: What's the use of her at a picnic? Can't you sleep in a tent?

Tolik: Yeah, it's obvious that you haven't had to fall asleep by the lake in the evening, when clouds of mosquitoes are just waiting for this pink, chubby baby to fall asleep in order to plunge their insatiable stings into a helpless baby's body. And my crib has a reliable mosquito net, it unfolds in the shape of a dome, and it's easy to breathe and no midges will penetrate.

Vanechka: Aah, well, then of course. I know about mosquitoes, I was bitten once, it itched like that for three days, until my mother smeared it with some kind of stinky. 

…Interesting, interesting. Tex, the guys who haven't shared their advice yet. By the way!!! Irisha, you're selling yours!

(Milana enters the chat)

Milana: Irishka wrote to me half an hour ago in her personal account that her mother had prepared a bathroom full of strawberry foam for her. So don't wait for her for the next hour and a half. And I can tell you about my Piccolo+. 

Vanechka: By the way, yes. You just turned one year old. I should have already. 

Milana: Oh, I have everything there, well, literally everything: a plush bunny, colorful dishes, a toy piano, a set of rubber balls with long hair, my mother's polka-dotted makeup bag, and... (writes ....)

Kirill: Milanka, this is all soooo interesting, of course. But Vanya needs more practical information.

Vanechka: Thank you, neighbor! Oh, those women..

Milana: Well, okay, okay. I'll start with the main thing: I have it in the color Orchid Purple.… My beloved! You know, I even had diapers that color! My mom and I...

Kirill: Milana, are you back? ...

Milana: What, Kiryushka? 😻

Kirill: 🤦🏻

Vanechka: 😵

Milan🎀:  And there's also a removable, soft mattress, mesh walls, pockets, pockets.… There are wheels that allow mom to carry the playpen to the kitchen, then to the bedroom, then to the balcony, if it's warm. We also took my favorite playpen with us when we went to the sea in Bibipet, because it folds up easily and looks simply bombastic in its stylish case. Because if you attach another mattress higher, you get a crib

Kirill: It's correct to write “Egypt”, not “Bibipet", Sweetheart

Milana: Oh, what's the difference!  With my Piccolo+, you can feel at home anywhere in the world. Oh, sorry, boys - Mom's coming, she's going to feed.

(Milana🎀 exits the chat)

(Irisha enters the chat)

Vanechka: So, let's summarize the preliminary results. Kirill doesn't have a playpen - it was an old one, he threw it away. Irisha has a cool one, it's called Grande, she sells it - she's grown up. Milana has a purple Piccolo+ that can turn into a crib, like Tolik's. And Tolik actually has a crib.

Irisha: By the way, you can laugh, but my Grande is no worse than a crib. After all, only I decide when and how I fall asleep. And I, as a fickle and changeable girl, can fall asleep in the middle of a game, hugging a velour giraffe or a pink monkey. I even have a heart-shaped pillow there.

Vanechka: Then what's the difference between your Grande and Milankin's Piccolo+? Except for the color, of course. Girls, can you explain?

Irishea: It's very simple, baby. Milankin's Piccolo+ is rectangular, and my Grande is square.

(Milana🎀 enters the chat)

Milana: Not only that! My Piccolo+ has an extra bed and a prettier handbag!

Irisha: Well, it's a matter of taste. I like mine better. And Mom says that gray is the most noble color.

Milana: Come on, I saw your mom's new jacket - exactly the same color as my playpen...

Kirill: Girls, calm down. That's not what we're talking about right now. I've been asking the guys next door if anyone needs a playpen. Vitalik wrote that he was still old, he hadn't carried off his older sister (his dad was joking), Marishka's brother would be born only in January, and they were superstitious, they didn't buy anything before giving birth.  So it turns out, Vanek, you can really buy Irkin Manege! Oh, I would have had this three years ago - I definitely would not have refused. I would have thought of so many things...

Irisha: Oh, guys, you know what - I just climbed into my favorite playpen to say goodbye to him and thought: but I'm not that old to part with him, I'll leave him for another couple of months, and then we'll see.  Vanechka, no offense. If your ancestors don't deign to buy you a brand new one (I'm leaving a link), then you're welcome to contact us. We're a gang!
