To think is going to be how I die?

We have twin boys who are 3, both autistic and non verbal.

They love songs and one has recently started signing for more so I want to try and encourage them. They also don’t have much interest in people especially other children.

After doing some reading I decided to buy a living puppet / signing puppet and it’s just arrived...

This thing is going to come to life and kill with its empty floppy hands, isn’t it?

😂 Most probably.

FindaPenny · 18/10/2019 11:34

Kill it first!!! 🤣

Annabelle number 2 Grin

DogAndCatPerson · 18/10/2019 11:36

It has Peter Stringfellow hair

JulieRat · 18/10/2019 11:36

Ooh I can just imagine that creeping silently/floppily up your bedspread in the night... before gazing into your face. :o sorry but you started it :o

I'm crying laughing

He looks a bit like Boris

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 11:47

He looks very much like Boris... shall I burn it as an effigy?

They’re really expensive new and I found someone selling an overstock on eBay (can’t think why) so I didn’t get to choose the design.

I’ve put it face down so I don’t have to look into its eyes...

Put it in the freezer. It’s horrific OP.

Spudlet · 18/10/2019 11:55

I’m not saying it’s definitely possessed, but it’s possessed.

NearlyGranny · 18/10/2019 11:57

Heeeeeere's Boris! You have to call it Boris, OP. For our sakes.

And yes, he will infiltrate your dreams and you will wake up in a cold sweat. 😅

Bluewavescrashing · 18/10/2019 11:57

Good luck sleeping tonight OP!

LaurieMarlow · 18/10/2019 11:58

OMG. Burn it.

Ahundredpercentthatbitch · 18/10/2019 11:58

Make sure you post back here tomorrow OP so we know you’re still alive.

Ridingthegravytrain · 18/10/2019 12:03

It probably posted itself on eBay....after killing it’s first family!!!!

NonUrinatInVentum · 18/10/2019 12:04

@Ridingthegravytrain Grin

ArcheryAnnie · 18/10/2019 12:07

DogAndCatPerson OMG you are right - it does have Peter Stringfellow hair. I can't unsee that now.

OP - I hope you have a suitably creepy trunk to keep him in. Put a chain around the trunk when you aren't using the puppet, and try to ignore the rattling sounds at night.

Oysterbabe · 18/10/2019 12:09

Awww he just wants to play with you.
Forever and ever and ever.

fannyanney · 18/10/2019 12:11

He's lovely!! Of course he's not going to kill you. He's a friendly puppet.

KurriKurri · 18/10/2019 12:17

Haha Grin

I once won a very creepy doll in a raffle - my daughter called it 'The Curs-ed Doll' and made me put it facing the wall.
I re-raffled it as soon as possible (it is still probably doing the rounds of raffles years later Grin)

Yours looks much friendlier than The Curs-ed Doll. Would it look less unusual better in a hat?

TottieandMarchpane · 18/10/2019 12:20

Well at least that’s Halloween sorted.

ChrisPrattsFace · 18/10/2019 12:22

RIP OP.
Your poor children. 😂

The worst thing is - they’re probably going to absolutely love it and you’re now stuck with it for life!

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 12:25

Heeeeeeeere’s Boris!

Or just BJ

Just hide the knives to be on the safe side.

Sparklfairy · 18/10/2019 12:26

OP you do realise that you can never ever leave this thread now as we'll be convinced you've been brutally murdered by Boris/Chucky/Annabelle II Grin

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 12:27

If you don’t hear from me every 15 mins, call the Warrens
