It's been about two hours since my kids went to bed and I'm sitting here on the couch, watching my shows, when I notice somebody is watching me. And that somebody is Elmo.
Sure, he looks all innocent in his plastic body, holding a microphone and a fake 'boombox,' but he is watching me. And I'm watching him....just waiting for his mouth to start moving. We've been having a staring contest. Too bad he doesn't have eyelids. Okay, this is lame, why am I freaking out about a toy staring at me?
Then I hear a voice. Is it my girls? Shouldn't they be asleep? I go up to their room, and they are both passed out. But I still here it: a faint cry, almost sounds like they are saying 'Mommy!' Being the brave mother that I am, I sat on the couch as stiff as a board and prayed I wasn't hearing voices. But I was...and that voice was coming from a toy downstairs! I got played! By a toy!
But I still won't go downstairs to shut it off because, man, that's just creepy. Why are you talking toy?! No one is around you. Except your toy friends. Perhaps this is exactly how the makers of Toy Story got their ideas.
Anywho, this post is a good example why I should write posts during the day instead of waiting until 10 at night.
Do you ever get creeped out by kids toys?
