because he wanted to play being an umpire, along with a $3 metal whistle and an electronic timing watch for less than $10. All this cheap stuff was purchased on line, brought up by searches for items for children. They had good reviews, but I didn't get to see them myself and it was our daughter who called immediately to inform us about what we'd sent.
The megaphone, @$15 because it had 3 loudness settings instead of the $12 one with only one, could be heard clearly the length of a football stadium on the lowest setting. And the cheap little whistle turned out to be just what hikers should carry in case they fall off a cliff in the wilderness and desperately need to attract rescuers.
So, in our case as long as the poor kid had them taken away immediately. And, no surprise at Sanders showing up with a one-donation megaphone. I know where he could have gotten one cheaper.
