Shy Kids - how spooky are they?

[Enid]

particularly like the bit about Ideal for lightening a dark corner

Gah. They're maybe even creepier than the Baby Born ones ...

have seen them in the shops and think they are horrible. dd1 walked up to one and got the fright of her life when it toppled over. nearly gave an elderly man a heart attack too

Enid, please do tell me what you were Googling for when you unearthed this alarming site...or did you get it off Popbitch
Nailpolish I shouldn't laugh but your poor dd1 and that poor old guy

there's one called Linus!!!!!!!!! (that's my ds!!!)

I might get one to replace DS2.

marina, laugh away, i was creasing myself at the time

LOL at soupdragon!!!!!!!!

do they sell them in waitrose?

Truly weird.

Well, there were lots of still children staring in my direction today so they might. Going by that evidence, there were some adult versions too.

You could put one in the sitting room and pretend you've adopted a kid to freak out your LO's.....

now who's a bad mummy

PMSL! soupdragon you are hilarious.

Those are so creepy. What kind of weirdo would want something like that?

(Loads of regular MNers will now change their names to say they have one and they're very insulted )

What on earth is the point? Just another thing to dust IMO.

Oh what a wonderful thought - a child that you simply have to dust occasionally.... hell, get a cleaner and you wouldn't even have to do that much.

oh I suspected as such. They have had some bizarre aite links recently

soupdragon have just sprayed my black cherry yoghurt all over the monitor thanks to you. you crack me up.

I do my best

They're so horrid. Do they have faces?

They should bring out a range: Tantrum kid (purple face), The Gina (smug contented smile) etc etc

I've just had a nasty flashback to the "child" with the gas-mask on in the Blitz two-parter of Dr Who

DSs were wandering round last night saying "Have you seen my mummy?". Freaked me out completely.

Our normally titanium-nerved ds asked us to turn it off, which we did immediately, feeling dreadful about letting him see even some of that episode. We somehow missed the age-related warning. I was not sorry to miss the rest of it either Soupy
