I enjoy trying to trick my kids into thinking their toys comes to life. Disney has helped me A LOT with the Toy Story movies. You would think their crying in fear in the night would bother me as their toys watch them, but not so much...
 | We have this Whinnie The Pooh talking story book and when the batteries started failing, it started going off at random. As the battery got lower, the recordings got slower, until eventually Whinnie the Pooh's laugh sounded more like Whinny McSatan the daemon bear at 2am when you are half awake on the toilet! I don't know what I thought I was going to do to a daemon with a Cutco knife as I sneaked into the family room, but what would you have done?! The same thing, that's what! |
I was doing some Christmas shopping and a baby doll with motion detection came alive and scared me. I punched it in the face as I flinched.
I also saw a toy truck, in GIANT RED LETTERS the words "I CAN TALK!" were on the box. "Ummm, k. I guess I am NOT buying you!"
Come on! Are you marketing for my three year old who not only can't read but has no money? If you want the parent to buy the toy, how about putting this on the box "I CAN WHISPER!" or "I am as quiet as the dead!"

How about a secret switch hidden inside with the batteries for WHISPER MODE, where the child has to be quiet and listen to hear the noises? EVERY PARENT WOULD WANT ONE! Tell me you wouldn't buy that just because its the only whisper toy on the market!
I am convinced that grandparents are trying to punish their children by buying their grandchildren toys they know will annoy them! I know when I buy something I think, "Ok as a parent would I want this in my house?" If the answer is no, why would I do that to someone else??? Oh, because the kid will like it? Give me a break, my kids have a solar powered calculator they call a "super computer" and is frequently held in higher value than anything that blinks and beeps!
You know what I call a present that makes noise?
A: Something to throw at a opossum
B: Donation to Good-Will or D.I.
