Yeah, so one of Lola's stuffed animals is this dog that's about the size of her. It has big floppy ears, a tail, and a red heart-shaped light in the center of its chest. If you push its ears, paws, belly or nose, it talks and/or sings a song.
...and it is freaking me the fuck out. Why? Because it randomly burbles out statements like, "Hug me!" or "I love you!" maybe 20 minutes after anyone has touched it. I had it sitting in the reading chair in Lola's nursery the other day, it had been there for hours with no one touching it, but when I walked in there to grab a bib, the goddam heart light lit up and it asked for a hug. I didn't come within three feet of it.
I saw Poltergeist. Fuck this thing. If Lola didn't love it so much, I'd give it an exorcism and incinerate it on the fucking grill.
