Once upon a time, in a distant land a long, long time ago (around 1991), there was a little lady. She wore bunny houseshoes like nobody's business. She loved her Little Mermaid watch that flipped open to show Ariel and the time (in digital format)!! She loved jumping off the chair onto a pile of pillows into her sister's arms. She loved the three quarter-length sleeves that were probably not meant to be three quarter-length..
but she hated her white dog.
Oh what a wonderful Christmas morning it was to run into the den and to have found that little white electronic dog. What could possibly be more fun than that!? Afterall, dragging a plush Pound Puppy around on a leash (and up and down the street) was getting a little old. And this was electronic. So unbelievably cool for 1991.
But it was creepy. Very creepy. So creepy, in fact, that it made that little girl cry. It was loud, and she couldn't control the electronic controller. She really thought that dog was going to get her. So she refused to get near it. And her mom had to return it to Roses. And that was the end of that.
-------------------------------------
Eighteen years later, that little lady fell in love with another white puppy. But this time it was real. And not creepy at all.
And they lived happily ever after.
The End.
PS. Mom & Dad, do you remember that?!?! How funny! :D This also reminds me of the robot you bought me for my 5th birthday. And I was so scared of it that I threw it in my closet and shut the door. Hilarious :)
Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Those electronic pets always creeped me out, too.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! Piper is definitely NOT creepy, but those electronic toys definitely had some craziness to them!

ReplyDeleteI had the 101 Dalmation puppy that "peed." Bwahahaha.
ReplyDeleteLOL.. Brittney, if only we still thought that peeing dogs was "cute" ;] Those were the days.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I love reading your blog :) It's fun to read :)
ReplyDeleteAnd we had one of those dogs that walked around, then it would sit, bark, and do a backflip.... definitely weird!
wow. It must have been ALL the rage. I guess our parents bought them for us so we wouldn't have to have a REAL dog. Just a fake one that was much cheaper and much easier to maintain ;) How cute!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember the white toy dog at all. What a similar thing though. I loved to pick out cute toys for you. Love, mom
ReplyDeleteYou don't? Well, there's a picture of my head in my arm where I'm crying on Christmas morning with this same dog. I used to be kind of a baby, if you don't remember ;)
