Bobble-head blues
July 27th, 2010
Has your kid ever gotten in a fight with a Happy Meal toy? As of today, mine has. First of all, we NEVER get Happy Meals. I think they are a rip-off, however, I used a coupon and got one free, so that’s a pretty good deal, toy and all… or so I thought.
Noelle was so excited to get a Littlest Pet Shop puppy with a bed and stickers. To sort of sour things up a bit, the stickers wouldn’t stick on the bed, so that got Noelle irritated, but I didn’t see what was coming next. Once the little puppy was connected to her bed, making her sturdy, her head started bobbling… which led to her demise. Wrong move girlfriend!
Noelle’s frustration turned into tears which turned into a rage of rants including the following:
“Stop moving your head! Other animals walk. You look crazy!”
“You’re the worst pet ever. I want to throw you away and never ever see you again!”
“What are you doing? I’m harmless. You’re mean, and I don’t like you!”
She came crying to me about how horrific her Littlest Pet shop puppy was and how devastated she was that the puppy wouldn’t stop moving her head. Seriously, tears streaming down her face folks. Seriously, you’re thinking? Yes, seriously!
I told her we should all take naps, and it will be better after nap time. So, the drama has subsided for now, but when they wake up, Round 2, ding ding!
