Creepy Toys


If you know me well, you know that I am a big kid at heart.. I still buy kids books for me, actually LIKE the shows on Noggin, and consider watching cartoons a treat. So, it's really no surprise that the Pumpkin gets a lot of cool toys. Case in point, a few weeks ago we were at the grocery store and were playing around with the Elmo Live doll. Pumpkin thought it was great, and so even though Mommy was rational and didn't buy it on the spot, she ended up getting it on Amazon allegedly as a birthday/Christmas present. The temptation, of course, proved too great, and I had to open it up. This thing is amazing.. it's animatronic and actually interacts with you. Today, I was doing something in the house and all of a sudden it just started randomly talking to me.. "Excuse me, Elmo fell down.. can you please help me?" A little freaked out and annoyed, I ignored him. He persisted for a few more times before finally saying " Elmo thinks this would be a good time to take a nap." You do that buddy. I just hope you don't come back to seek revenge on me for not helping you up while I lay sleeping a la Chucky...
