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?

Please play us a video of him singing - so we can freak the bejesus out of all the scaredy cats here.

Is it Jimmy Saville?

Beware of the unseen border between the dead and the undead that it will uphold and respect during all negotiations with you about where he sleeps at bed-time.

You now need to check in daily, 365 days of the year else we call the cops 😂

OP? OP?

My kids' GP has these. I reckon they're the reason for DD2's needle phobia. We got into a habit of taking her teddy bear in with us, I thought it was for comfort, maybe it's more of a matter of having fluffy backup with us...

RavenLG · 18/10/2019 13:32

We've got one of these (similar not this exact one) in our house (thanks DP).
If the little fucker hasn't topped me by now I think I'm safe. Hopefully.

Or just BJ

Definitely call it BJ. Because it sucks. Grin

@RavenLG Oh Christ, just when I had finally stopped laughing.
There goes my mascara again. Ouch, my eyes!!

I'm not even joking 😂

SilverySurfer · 18/10/2019 13:48

Did nobody find the OP's first post a bit odd? My guess is that the puppet has already done away with OP and is posting on here pretending to be her to avoid suspicion.

RIP OP Smile

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 13:50

She's dead.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 13:50

If she comes to life again I'm going to say a Hail Mary.

Shannith · 18/10/2019 13:54

Any crafters out there?

OP Boris you need a zip so he you can be Grin.

Everyone will feel much safer then.

He you will have to reconsider the gumming to death plan. Grating to death is one to have a think about...

DaveHedgehogSpudgun · 18/10/2019 13:55

There is a definite lifelike glint in his eyes

Shannith · 18/10/2019 13:55

Gently grating, one toe at a time...

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 13:57

I’m still alive. Just picking up the twins from nursery - will see if they want a nap before I show it to them... 😳

Fortunately it doesn’t sing - it’s for signing
(Sgnalong, Makaton etc). So fortunately there’s no chance of it suddenly starting to sing in the night... I hope.

Hahahha My cousin bought my dd a little cub from the Lion King movie that jumped and made a noise and moved. Fucking thing used to just start off in the middle of the night. I had to bring it into my room. She never liked it in the first place lol.

Cue eerie singing in the night

DarlingNikita · 18/10/2019 14:05

Or smother you with its blond mullet.
Good luck!

PS genuinely very good luck with your boys. Thanks

FavouriteSong · 18/10/2019 14:08

Tonight, after the sun sets, and the house is in darkness, you will hear him singing. You will think you're dreaming...but you won't be. Boris is alive and when he sings part of your soul shrivels and dies.You and your family are in mortal danger. Call a priest and call him now.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 14:08

The first thing my dd was terrified was a Dora the Explorer doll. It was on a sort of round plate with wheels and it would take off in different directions singing songs. My dd (about 1) was PETRIFIED OF THIS THING. Then came the Lion King cub that set off through the night. Lol.

She was only learning to walk and couldn't escape Dora quick enough as it moved fast when it moved. Lol. I used to have to grab her off the floor. Poor grandad was gutted he had traumatised his grandaughter. She had batteries removed and was sent to the bin. I can't describe how terrified dd was of this thing. In fairness, it was almost her size, and had a weird smiley face and just raced at her lol.
