Oh man, there are way too many people out there with way too much time on their hands.

I’d love to meet anybody who thinks these toys are a good idea. Play time should be play time and that’s what health class is for.

The Tic-Tac shaped, dual-purpose “accessories” on the other hand…hilarious!

(NukeDad) Like I said, I’ll never ingest another Tic-Tac as long as I live. Call me Altoid man.

I’m impressed you didn’t call yourself a b***h and then go tattle about it to avoid getting in trouble like SOME PEOPLE (cough *my sister* cough) I KNOW!

(NukeDad) Ha! I thought you two would like that reference. I had childhood trauma with dog crap too; I know how badly your sister scarred you.

You know, there are just some human functions that don’t need to become the major focus of playtime. Kids have active imaginations, and if they find the need to exemplify the private but otherwise age-appropriate matters, they’ll figure it out on their own.

But the sucking baby thing just really goes beyond. What’s next? “Obstetrician Barbie?” “VBAC fun set?” It boggles the mind.

I’m glad Michael’s a boy, and my daughters are well beyond this stage.

(NukeDad) My sentiments exactly. Kids aren’t stupid; they pick up on plenty. I agree that age appropriateness will work itself out in time, kids mature at different rates, but giving a 5 year old a nursing vest is a bit much.

Oops…well, if Nukeboy2 reads this,

I’M SORRY!

And…

Don’t worry…your voice will change in a few years and nobody will make that mistake ever again.

(NukeDad) Ha ha, they say the camera adds 10lbs of estrogen…

Wow! Scary, funny, disturbing all at the same time. Who green lights these toys? Does playtime really need to be that close to reality? On the other hand, who knew tic tacs had that much fiber?

(NukeDad) I think I’d rather dry chew a carton of Metamucil before I’d eat a brown tic tac. Just sayin’.

I am sitting here CRYING from laughing. I have many points I want to address:

1. I wrongly assumed that when Nukemom went to the store to get a replacement gift, you were going to RETURN this one.

2. I’m glad you didn’t, because it was wicked fun to watch you play with poop-ish tic tacs as Nukegirl laughed in the background. I can see it now…”Daddy? Can I have a turn?” “NO! Daddy’s busy! Come back later!”

3. My dog doesn’t tilt her head when she poops; rather, it just spins around 360 degrees as it makes a “whoop, whoop!” noise.

4. Extra Super Bonus points for remembering, in the middle of your playtime, the story of my sister and I and the “b*&#h incident”. I have to subtract points though, because your left hand didn’t actually call your right hand a bad name and then run to your mom to tell on itself.

HILARIOUS STUFF!!!

(NukeDad) We didn’t return it because NukeGirl wanted to keep it, and hey, anything that will help get the NukeKids On The Block out there helping clean up the poop is worth it. I won’t tell NukeBoy2 that you thought he was NukeGirl (shhhh!). This was for demonstration ONLY; I only SEEM to be having a good time. I’ve never played with it for more than 10 minutes at a time….on several occasions. I was hoping you’d catch the shout out; as soon as I did it i pictured you cursing your sister with dog crap on your hands.

I have heard about both of these barbies. The pooper scooper version I found funny due to the absurdity. The breast feeding model I just found to be over the line. I’m glad that it comes with a vest. The news channel has just explained it as the doll latches onto the daisy flowers and suckles. I thought they may be pasty style flowers.
Oh, and the tattoo barbie already exists. Eldest Weasel was gifted with it on more than one occasion when she was in 1st or 2nd grade. The kid gets to apply the tattoos to barbie themselves. They come in different sizes and designs, mostly butterflies and flowers and one that is the perfect size for a tramp-stamp.
I told her that it was a collectors item and we could never open the box. I’m not sure if I ever threw them away or not.

(NukeDad) The whole treat thing is what got me; I will never eat another tic tac as long as I live. Collectors Edition Tramp Stamp Barbie; you, my friend, are a genius.
