AND my family has more patience when I sit a noodle on it for some reason.

Everytime I've played with young children around it creates a smile on their faces, laughter in their voices and a twinkle in their eyes.

The sound is whimsical and happy - it catches people's attention through its simplicity. Its coolness comes from its lack of coolness / pretension.

And also, because all the cool kids have one! :-) I am guessing I will love it because it is small enough to carry around on vacation and will undoubtedly be a conversation starter and a way to meet new people.
