Death by toot toot

[Wowz]

DD found the toot toot animals at the bottom of the toybox, she has turned them all on and now they are singing all at once. We have chicken, cow, sheep, pig and rhino.

would I be unreasonable to chuck them out the window?

Ds has just been given a late late Xmas present - I can relate to them soon being out the window

Not those hellish sounding things, but we bought ds a car thing that you changed the tops on and it made different emergency vehicle sounds. My dad just lifted the top off and put on on the highest shelf he could. It lasted about two weeks.

I thought after four years I’d forgotten ‘I’m a pig I like to eat, grains and fruit are my favourite treats’.

I was delighted when DS decided to give his animals a bath and that was the end of it 😁

When we were in lockdown I was teaching online. My Mum usually had my then one year old for me when I was working, but for whatever reason she didn’t one morning.

We had ‘linkimals’, similar premise, basically all had sensors and sang at the same time.

I was reading through a Macbeth script with the class and DD pressed one of the buttons 🤦🏼‍♀️

Off they all went, even the ones that were put away 😂

I went away to Marbella for a girls weekend and being Marbella there wasn’t much in the way of gift shops to find something to bring back for my little boy. Spotted toot toots in a supermarket so grabbed a couple because he loves them. At the time I thought it was hilarious that they sang in Spanish. Fast forward 7 months, not so hilarious!

I think one of ours is voiced by Justin Fletcher and I get triggered everytime Mr Tumble comes on thinking its the bastarding things starting up again.

Just sat here trying to remember the rest of “I’m. An. Elephant.” …

DS'S giant box of toot toot is in the loft. I recently considered getting them down for dd to discover.

Seriously rethinking it now as I'm having flashbacks!

"I'm super, I love to race, chasing, racing, I like to be number one!"

BASTARD things.

Omg, I’ve just been looking at these on Smyths and then FB Marketplace. I’m a ftm and had no idea how annoying… maybe I won’t purchase after all!

The DSs and I just looked at the fire engine on YouTube (the real one now thankfully RIP)

ah yes the dulcet tones of

My DUTY is to FIGHT FAYAH!!

The ladder on my roof is for SAVING PEOPLE!

How could I forget < memories >

We had other ones but I always remember the fire engine, probably because he was such a smug bastard

DD finally decided she was too old for the cars and gave them to her cousin. I was delighted though suspect DSis May no longer be talking to me soon

@Walkbyall

”come along, sing along, my floppy ears and my trunk is long!” Something like that.

What also bemused me about the elephant is that it also plays the tune to three blind mice 🤷🏼‍♀️

We have the monkey as well. It’s shoved down a toy box and every time it’s disturbed the monkey shouts “IM A PLAYFUL MONKEY… IM AS HAPPY AS CAN BEEEEEEE!!!!!”

My son is 10 and autistic and obsessed with Toot Toot. Cars, animals and friends. I kid you not we have every one of them and many duplicates and he frequently puts them on together(but not mixed so just animals, vehicles or friends at the one time). I have literally been listening to them for 7 years 🤪🤪

Any toys with batteries! As a parent you never replace the batteries abd willingly gift them on! Always remember walking by the toys on a evening and some damn toy going off!

Omg YES! The three blind mice tune!! I did feel she was more elegant and refined than the other animals though 🤔. Glad we didn’t have the monkey!

This has bought back terrible, terrible memories of when the toot toot fire engine got wedged under my car seat and I couldn't retrieve it. Every time I went around a sharp bend off it would go with the entire repertoire of sirens and singing. Finally managed to retrieve it with a pair of barbecue tongs where it promptly made its way to the charity shop bag to torment another family.

Why are they made to be so deafeningly loud?!

Oh the flashbacks! The terrible, terrible flashbacks! I hated those bloody cars. The ambulance in particular.

I'm torn between absolute horror and snort-laughing. Sorry Morris but this is amazing!

We had a hellish 5 hour journey to Cornwall with 6 month old twins. Not hellish because of twins, who were brilliant. Hellish for a Noah’s Ark toy buried in a box in the boot that yelled “Ahoy there” every time we braked 😂

My wonderful toddlers hid toys under sofa cushions and behind furniture. No better feeling than sitting down after bedtime to watch grown up TV and "I'm a fire engine ready for a call" blasting out from under my arse somewhere. As for the animals the batteries died very quickly since that was sort of a blessing

@Walkbyall I agree - very elegant and self assured - just stating “I’m. An. Elephant”. And leaving a pause before belting out three blind mice. She oozes self confidence.

The monkey is just a needy arsehole.

Oh dear God....Those effing things should be banned for human rights violations....

Omg I had forgotten about these! We had the taxi. And also the annoying other things like the ball that rolled around and the Walker. I used to lose the batteries from that one.
