Yesterday I walked into the office of a friend and she was going to show me baby dolls that had been purchased for the kids taking the classes in parenting. The dolls are realistic and are hooked to a computer so that if the baby cries and the “mom” doesn’t feed, change, love on it – it is recorded. It records other things too. As we were about to open the boxes to look at some her phone rang and I proceeded to get one out while she answered the call.
As I turned, looking at the doll and reading the warning on the package another friend walked in and I had to ask – isn’t this a tiny bit ironic? The doll was in a plastic bag that carried the usual warning – Keep away from children, choking hazard, can cause asphyxiation.
As I told hubby about it that evening, he asked “Was the doll blue?” When I replied that it wasn’t he looked up from the paper he was reading and said “It’s not very realistic then is it?”
And people think my humor is twisted…
what do you expect? it’s dad.
