Just when you think you’ve heard everything, now there’s
a baby doll that poops magical charms. In
case you’re compiling your Christmas list.
A friend of mine is buying a
baby doll for her granddaughter (note: I still have NO grandchildren, so I must
live vicariously through my friends.
Just saying.) And she began to
research dolls that can be fed and changed.
Apparently little toddlers everywhere are dying to experience the
input/output part of parenting that we
can all agree is its least attractive element.
Nonetheless, the primal
instinct to care for a little infant accounts for millions of dollars in retail
profits for toymakers, and thus parents and grandparents line up to purchase
wetting and pooping dollies.
The “charming” doll is called
La-la-loopsy Diaper Surprise, and all
you need do to observe this biological miracle is to feed the doll water, then
press its belly “button.” Then a charm pops out. Button is in
quote marks on their web site, so I respect their punctuation choice. They also claim there are “Sew” many charms
to collect!
Now, poop collection is not
a hobby I’ve heard of, but it certainly seems feasible, given this new
twist.
Peanut Big Top and Blossom
Flower Pot are the two charm-pooping choices, and there are three Diaper
Surprise Refill Packs of darling diapers you will absolutely want to buy, as
well. Ka-ching.
The premise behind these
dolls is that they were once rag dolls, but sprang to life when their last
stitch was sewn. But check out the
stitches. Tim Burton could not design a
creepier doll.
So, or maybe I should say
sew, if you still haven’t thought of the perfect gift for that little munchkin
on your list, and you’re pretty sure she won’t have nightmares, or choke on
small parts, get her a La-la-loopsy. And
if she accidentally swallows the charms, well, then she can be a sort of La-la-loopsy.
