Well my girl had a project for one of her new classes. It was called Baby we can wait. Sounds a little weird I know. She got a new born baby simulator. It is a doll that is programed to simulate one of fifteen new born baby schedules. My girl had to wear a band on her wrist that activated it when it cried. If the faux-baby cried it required one of the following; a feeding, a changing, a burping, or rocking/comforting. She brought the faux-baby home Friday night. The first time the thing let out a cry I barked and went over and checked it out to see what all the fuss was about. To say this doll is a little creepy would be an understatement. I sniffed it just to check it out and decided right then, that I didn't want anything to do with it... I've seen the movie "Child's Play" and this thing had Chuckie written all over it.
My girl did her best to be a good pseudo-mom during her simulation. She did everything she was suppose too. She had moments of frustration and is totally exhausted. Ironically mom said that she never played with dolls as a little girl so I'm sure this was really weird for her too.
Mom said she thinks this is a good lesson, while babies can be cute they are a lot of work! I heard Mom ask my girl what she thought of the experience. She said "if the idea was to make you see babies can be a pain in the neck they succeeded, I think I'll wait ten or more years before walking down that path".
So my time of being an uncle is officially over.... and not too soon... I can wait 10 years...
Cheers from the dog with the ears..........................
