I cannot believe my mum has brought back from spain THE most inappropriate gift for my 2.6 year old DD. (Apart from leaving out my DS again - they didnt have anything suitable for babies apparently....)

She bought one of those noise reactive dancing doll things.

Except this one is a rastafarian complete with combat sarong, vest with marijuana leaf and huge reefer attached to fingers, that when activated Growls a la Barry White

OOOOoooohhhhh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh do do do do Im just a love machine, do do do do im justs a love machine.

She bought it off some street trader apparently.

I only brought it home with me today coz 6 mth old DS likes to dance to it too

That is hilarious! Was she being ironic?

Almost as good as the jumping jolly todger my nan bought for my husband as a stocking filler a couple of xmas' ago! A wind up, plastic, nob end to put it bluntly, which jumped. It was FOUL!

PMSL.
That's so ridiculous. Could she actually see what it was - does she know what it is he is holding?

And you are MIFFED that they didn't bring a present for the baby?

Be relieved, very relieved!

pmsl!!!
My dh's friend bought exactly the same thing (except I thing it sings Satisfy my Soul) for his 94 year old grandmother with dementia. How do I know?
She is in the same nursing home as my FIL and everytime we see it (perched on the piano in the lounge) dh and i shake with silent mirth.

My older brother who i saw today and me thought it was for my youngest brother who is 22. He's at "that age" and has been for a couple of years flag on his bedroom wall and all that.

When we met mum for lunch and she said "oh, by the way, i got DD a present its a dancing doll thing" both my and DB sat open mouthed for a minute. We'd been laughing about it before because my DD and DS had been dancing to it and we thought it soo inappropriate that DD was copying the growl noise!

Sorry but PMSL here!

QueenVictoria · 20/10/2005 18:09

She also said "I deliberately didnt get the one with the cigarette in her mouth"

HER mouth - the doll has a beard and a moustache!

Im scared to let her babysit now!

Actually your mum sounds like a bit of a groover QV.

QueenVictoria · 20/10/2005 18:15

Maybe a naive groover. I have to close my ears sometimes when she starts telling us stories about stuff!

She likes to use "cool" words sometimes but i still cringe when she uses the word "pussy".

Bleugh.

Sorry.

Oh noooooo!
The 'pussy' thing form one's mother would be just awful!!

QueenVictoria · 20/10/2005 18:25

Glad its not just me.

Thought i was starting to shrivel into a prude from all this motherhood malarky!

The joys of having parents eh!

Will have to relay the story one day of when she accused one of my brothers of using the bathroom as a "wan*ing post".

OMG.Cringe for your poor poor brother.

spidermama · 20/10/2005 18:28

There's a lesson here for all mum's who try to be friends to their kids instead of mum's.

Don't.

You will always be embarrassing by dint of the fact you are now a mum. Play the role gracefully. Move over. Your youth is gone.

spidermama · 20/10/2005 18:28

Rogue apostrophe.

moondog · 20/10/2005 18:51

Excellent advice spider!
