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?

pmsl If a life sized dora doll raced at me I'd probably be scared too.

SilverySurfer · 18/10/2019 14:11

So fortunately there’s no chance of it suddenly starting to sing in the night....

Yet...

We had this elephant thing where you put rings on the trunk and made an annoying giggle. The battery was dying and one night I came downstairs to make bottles and I heard this slow creepy demonic giggle. Took me 20 mins to find what it was.

I hope the OP updates that her puppet is actually a singer.... A battery operated one and she can't find the battery. Hmmmmmmmmm Now that's a dilemma most mothers have had.

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 14:16

I’m sorry it doesn’t sing - well I’m sorry for you lot, not sorry for myself 😂

Dd was terrified of all moving usually inanimate objects. Petrified.

I think it's a Trump-lookalike, gobby and gormless 😱

Mostly people obtain the data for their lives from films. In your case Chucky the killer doll with the soul of a murderer. So yes unless you can do away with it first which as we all know is impossible.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 14:23

In fairness, you've spent one night with it. I wouldn't trust it to launch into song.

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 14:24

I think it can sing.............

Minorityreports · 18/10/2019 14:26

Looks like the sort to launch into this sort of thing.

Certainly not suitable for 3yo's.

I'd call SS if I knew you were in possession of such a device of evil.

🤣🤣
You'll have to lock it away at Halloween....... except it will escape....

FavouriteSong · 18/10/2019 14:27

Oh it can sing, it really can. And when it sings, bad things happen all over the world...

Gimmechipschocolateandcake · 18/10/2019 14:29

That's nothing my autistic dc once took part in a study with a robot called jasper. This is kaspar...

😱😱

Gimmechipschocolateandcake · 18/10/2019 14:31

Kaspar, not jaspar.

Scared the 💩 out of me. The dc loved kaspar though.

SinkGirl · 18/10/2019 14:31

I considered going outside to put it in the wheelie bin but I suspect by the time I got back in it would be back on the sofa...

We got DS a singing, dancing Bear in the Big Blue House toy when he was little. DH put it on the tray of the high chair while DS was in it.

Bear starts singing, walking forwards.....and punching DS in the face with his waving hands. DS traumatised. Bad mummy crying laughing.

Its Boris Stringfellow. Its amusing, but think it would frighten my dog.

Raven , yours has a comical face.

Toddlerteaplease · 18/10/2019 14:42

@MarieVanGoethem yes they do have one. It's kept secret who it actually is. But I do know who the one in my diocese is. Shall I call him?!
