It's just part of wanting reality to be what you say it is at that age of magical thinking, I think.

My two year old will scream "no, it's not dark, it's not time to go home" when we leave the playground. Same thing as your son wanting the toy to need new batteries.

Have you got one of these toys? They are great!
