Stacia's Favorite/Most Hated Birthday Gift of All

Jamin contemplated, considered, and finally purchased this for Stacia. The thing imitate everything you say and parrots it back. It's a huge HIT not only with Stacia, but with all of the fabulous four. In fact, Beth has several on her Christmas list that she plans to give it to.

Thursday morning I walked into the kitchen and found it on my microwave....I jumped a mile. I walked past, hadn't even noticed it and it ROARED at me and squawked "stop it, stop it". ::snort::It IS great fun! Jamin bought it at Wal-mart. Be prepared for NOISE. It broke our "no noisy toys" rule...but it is a favorite. LOL

De'Etta, it must be divine Providence! Gerard, our soon to be 3 year old, has a birthday next week and I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what to give him. Today it was our plan to make a trip to Walmart, er, the store that seems to suck money right out of my wallet.

We have one of these awful parrots too, it drives me crazy. We got ours at a white elephant gift exchange last Christmas. The kids love it, but I have big plans for it this Christmas!

LOL... TOO FUNNY! I can just see you jumping a mile! Maybe I need one to go in my safari room?

Does the parrot have batteries? You can simply avoid purchasing the kind that will make it work...that is, once the current batteries die out LOL.

LOL, this is always Gabe's favorite thing to play with when we go to our local Cracker Barrel. It is okay, until he starts saying rude things!

I'm sure the little ones will love it.
