To think this is an inappropriate gift

[ProtegeMoi]

Lighthearted thread by the way.

My grandmother popped round with a present for my DD today who has just turned one, now she has a pretty impressive reputation for the worlds worst presents but today she has finally beaten her own record!

She bought 1 year old DD a teddy bear, sounds good so far until you look closely and see it has a bloody cigarette in its mouth! And if you press its tummy it plays something resembling rave music!

Who the hell would buy a smoking teddy for a baby?

Can't stop laughing at it.

Worst part is she handed it straight to DD who now loves it and hasn't let it go since, she's headed to ruins now isn't she.

Maybe we should run out and buy a bear complete with diploma and boden outfit to compensate.

OMG that's so funny!

Do you remember those stress ball things that were a mans pink face with a black top hat on and you squished the face bit? They had like syrup in them!

Well i wanted one for ages and went on and on about it, my mum bought me one eventually which had a huge nose, i played with it all day then my dad grabbed it off me when he got home because it was actually a willy and set of bollocks and my mum didnt even twig

My Mum once gave us a battery operated Santa who's arm movements made it look like it was wanking.
He's known as the wanking Santa and puts in an appearance every year.

My uncle gave me a joke book when I was about 10 which contained a number of adult jokes. They went over my head though.

For example the Irishman who complained that the chewing gum from the machine in the gents tasted funny - he must have been talking about the soap from the dispenser surely!

I think you should let your child take the toy everywhere.

Then sit back and wait for someone to post "AIBU to think that it's inappropriate for a young child to have a teddy bear that's smoking a cigarette?"

[Mumoftwoyoungkids]

Not for a child but about 8 years into our marriage when dh and I were still child free (by choice) my dad bought us the "Maybe Baby" film.

Apparently he had just seen it was by Ben Elton (who I like) and had Hugh Grant (who I like) in it but I'm not convinced!

Whatever smoking creature it is, she has an impressive camel toe.

[InTheRedCorner]

Definitely a suave, sophisticated, waist coated, cigarette smoking teddy bear!

Years ago my friends mother bought her young granddaughter a lovely baby doll only to discover it was a boy doll . Gave the child the doll after grandad performed an ''operation'' with a razor blade on the '' extra'' bits !!!!! Ouch! We couldn't stop laughing, granny didnt see the funny side !!

[magimedi]

It's a cigar - not a fag.

ANd it's vile - but a great joke to go down in family history.

[ProtegeMoi]

Yep it's a mouse.

Don't see the jimmy saville resemblence thankfully.

I've accidently left it on the floor by the dogs bed but its still not been chewed lol.

[RhondaJean]

That's a mouse smoking a camberwell carrot!

actually name changed for this , as it outs me,

My DH has twins for siblings as well as others, When his father did a bunk with one of the OW (he had affairs with almost everyone), he stripped down all the bank accounts, ran up debts, took out loans, maxed out the credit cards, leaving MiL with a large mortgage, the debts, and quite a few young children, and went half way round the world (we found out recently), and became totally un contractible.

The week after MiL had to deal with this, finding out hour by hour more and more, her MiL (incredibly wealthy) rang to announce she was going to visit for the twins's birthday,

She arrived and presented the twins with a puppy each, explained that the puppies were to help them get over the loss of their father, ignored the other children(DH included) then gave MiL a letter that contained a bill for all the money FiL had ever borrowed from her, and left.

She later wrote to my MiL to explain that she only had herself to blame as he was far too good for her, and she better make a better job of bringing up the children than she had of her marriage, and to threaten her for the money or lose the house.

I do hold this women partly responsible for, raising such a selfish git, helping to push MiL over the edge, making DH into a carer as a child, and when DH moved in I got two elderly massive dogs, with loads of problems who lived for years, the twins sensible lost interest in the puppies at the first signs of poo and wee.

and she is still alive, MiL really needed a MN in those days.

Mil bought toddler ds a small winnie the pooh toy, it had a bottle thing that you put in its mouth to activate the sounds. Now I don't know if the battery was really run down or what but the moans and groans sounded like he was mid orgasm!!

[ArbitraryUsername]

Definitely a smoking mouse.

[fanoftheinvisibleman]

My grandma gave my 3 year old a shiny red plastic sports car. She just failed to notice it was a manicure set containing lovely sharp implements!

[littlewhitebag]

It looks more like a cigar than a fag. I like the jaunty waistcoat and hat. It's a bit JR Ewing I think.

[RiffyWammal]

My nan bought my son (then aged about 4) a pair of pink tights and a tin of ham for his birthday.

{shudder} the picture of the bear looks abit like Jimmy saville! Suggest replacement bear (put rolled up paper in mouth for abit if necessary) and lose the bear until DD is 18. Make a good story then!
