Make A Wish?
My kids have one of those talking stuffed animal Care Bear things. It's mint green, and despite the fervor they professed when I tossed the thing in the cart at Target, it is sorely neglected in favor of other, cooler toys.
My youngest found it and left it in the middle of the hall last night. I tripped over it, and heard a little electronic voice. "Hi, I'm wasted!"
Oh no, it did NOT just say that.
I prodded the thing with my toe, and it said it again. "Hi, I'm wasted! I wish you a happy day of play!"
And then I picked it up, poked the paw, and pressed my ear to its rainbow bedecked tummy and listened again.
"Hi, I'm WISH BEAR." Yeah. I heard you, mint green Care Bear
Puh-lease.

We have 4, yes I said 4!, of those things. They sing together when you have more than 1. My kids love them! I think they are possessed. They can even sing in rounds to 'Row, Row, Row Your Boat' when in a crowd! Think Furbies on steriods :)

Well, at least it is educational for the kids, right?

We have a barn magnet that fits front and back pieces of farm animals in it. When you make a match, it makes the animal sound. Or, if I go into the refridgerator, on which it lives, it snorts like a pig at me, just to make me feel special.

I knew there had to be some sort of drug abuse involved with those damn bears. I always figured that they were somehow addictive but now I see that they were kicking it too. Just say no!

Hmm, I trick the kids into believing the talking Care Bears are saying bad things. A good time for everyone.

I KNEW those damn Care Bears were a bad influence! My daughter has... 87? of those things? Should I be worried?

Care Bears are Evil!?!?!? I don't believe it.
I have three of the electronic Neopets, I just sit them in the middle of the floor together and set them going. They talk to each other quite happily for quite some time. Freaks the cats out completely *hee*

Hah! You guys are funny. I don't think all Care Bears are evil, per se. Ours just happens to be wasted, and lying about it TO MY FACE.

...at least it's not one of the singing lesbian Barbie's we have at my house. I'd much rather have the wasted bear.
