Hi All and Happy Friday! TGIF! (subtext...I hope the GD Full Moon is OVER!)
Ok...
Now listen, I am ALL for education toys, fun toys and the like. I pride myself on being open minded because, hey, we're all on this planet to be happy, prosperous and enjoy life. So, you do your thing and I'll do mine and we'll all be happy! (I hope!)
Anyway, this week I heard about something which has closed my mind like a steel trap (no worries...just on this issue!)....and what might that be you say? That would be the breast feeding baby doll.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The doll comes with a little halter top with, uh, ahem, little flowers in a certain position that the little girl puts on. When the doll is held near the flowers it makes suckling noises and stops when it's full and time to be burped.
People...this must end. This doll is currently *not* available in the US so we're good so far but, seriously, do we need this doll? Should a little girl be playing this level of pretend? I, for one, think not.
I will say (as you all know) that I do not have kids but I do have 2 Godchildren, one of whom is a girl. I would be MORTIFIED if K bought little K (who is now too old for dollies anyway) this doll. NO I say, a thousand times NO. Am I being a prude? What do you think? Would you buy your child/grandchild/niece/godchild this doll?
Uh, would you?
