My parents did the no batteries thing for us. I also think they used to throw away annoying toys the instant we lost interest in them so we didn't have an opportunity to rediscover them later.
Yeah, I think that's a toy that needs to make it's way back to Dad's house so your baby has something to play with when he/she goes to Grandpa's house to visit!

Start practicing this phrase now:
"Wow, this is great Dad/Mom/MIL/FIL! How about we leave this at your house so the triplets will have something to play with when we visit?"
It will help you.
I've also started a "if I step on it, it goes into the giveaway pile" rule in the house because I am tired of stepping on things and setting them off (some of them just won't shut up).
