Anyone heard of the new craze - Alien Baby

I have just bought my daughter an 'Alien Baby' because all the other children at school had one. Now what do we do with it. Apparently you have to look after it, feed it etc but how? there are no instructions with it. Can anyone help?

The thing in an egg full of squidgy stuff? Or something else? (If the egg one, I think that must be just a very very clever marketing ploy - "everybody's got one" - they have now!) (We've had several...)

oh no, if it's the thing i'm thinking of (egg containing horrid squidgy foetus) my kids went through a phase of getting these a few years ago. One day my bil was visiting and went in the kitchen to make a drink - next thing, I heard a shriek as he discovered a grey "foetus" on the draining board

Just asked dd who tells me that if "you buy 2 and put their heads and backs together then leave them in a dark place, wait a while, then you get new babies. But you take the goo out '''cos it stains your clothes"

What a lot of tosh if you ask me, but Janh is right- 'everyone's got one!'

DD actually believes this as well

I was chatting to 2 other mums about them at the school gates on Fri - one of them had a basket full of them with her. They are the most horrible vile things I have ever seen, and apparently they stain walls (little boys will inevitably throw squidgy things to see if they stick) and sheets and everything. Really GROSS.

They are truly gross. My 9 and 6 year old were desparate for one. We went to the newsagent every day for a week until we struck 'lucky' (?!). They were convinced that they would have babies out of the dent at the back of their heads after 2 weeks!........and cried when they didn't. Have just thrown them away as with all these crazes they were cast aside when the novelty wore off!! (And I couldn't bear to have them in the house any longer). Revolting.

kiwisbird · 04/04/2004 20:12

they repulse me, but then I scream at bits of fluff that roll across the carpet innocently, assuming it to be a man eating tarantula. So I'm not a good choice for open opinion LOL
They is damn ugly essbee....

There was an article in the newspaper a while ago, someone found one of these in a park and the police were called thinking it was a foetus, atually called the pathologist out before they realised-yuck!!
