Toy Story
Margi has an excellent rant on the subject of the new Eeyore-on-Prosac.
Meanwhile, I've been facing my own toy issue. The Llama-ettes have a Dora the Explorer doll. The thing is about a foot tall and lives in the basement. Lately, when I've been watching tee vee late at night, I'd swear it's been staring at me with malice in its eyes:
"Hola! Can you help me carve up Papa? You can? Fantastico!"
I, for one, am starting to get seriously creeped out.
UPDATE: Of course, if this shows up at the Butcher's House, I'll know that I've lost and that Dora might just as well put me out of my misery:
Yips! to K-Lo in the Corner.
UPDATE DEUX: And just to show more of what parents of young girls are up against, allow me to direct your attention to Club Libby Lu. This is a place at the mall where girls can get "make-overs" as rock stars and the like and then are encouraged to "perform" for people strolling by. The eldest Llama-ette recently was invited to a Libby Lu birthday party. Fortunately, we already had a commitment for that afternoon, but if we hadn't, I'd have unhesitatingly invented one.

Posted by: Robbo the LB at October 6, 2005 03:02 PMHave you seen the episodes where Dora introduces Boots to llama meat?
No?
Yum. Yum.
Muy delicioso!
Posted by: Chrissy at October 6, 2005 03:13 PMAnd while we're on the subject, why does that monkey wear boots without socks?
That seriously bothers my sensibilities.

I'm happy to report that, until recently, I had no idea this Dora thing existed.
Now that I've seen the show, I think she makes Barney look like just another kids' show.
Help me. I'm SO NOT READY for another round of kids' shows!!
And yeah: I knew that the Barbie said "Math is hard!" but I didn't realize that this new career track included "Table Dancer Barbie"
