Question 2: Child's Toys!

For those of you who have small children, because my child is old and with his own child now; what would you do if your child’s favorite toy, a talking doll on top of that, start trying to convince your child that she/he needed a new friend, and that new friend is the next doll in the company’s line of dolls?
I don’t have any small children but I do have a mother who keeps asking me to buy her a doll. Please understand that I am not referring to Barbie. I had to explain to her that the import fees would way beyond her disability check.
So we parents know that our kids have that one doll or toys that if it goes missing then all hell breaks loose, and we parents scramble to find that child’s toy. Some of us have lose sleep because o that damn toy. Some of us have either burned it or thrown it away for the sake of our own insanity.
We know as parents that our child(ren) will go through that imaginary friend phrase. Some children grow out of it and some children grow into adult and still have that imaginary friend plus am imaginary girlfriend or boyfriend. Along with other imaginary things that some of us can come up with 5 pages about. That is when that doll that my mother wants comes into play for your child.
Now when purchasing a doll for your child (and I am considering a doll for the boys because sometimes they go through a phrase so let’s not excluded them) that it is first from a well-known name like Mattel, Hasbro, Hot Wheels, and Playmates Toy, to name a few. Make sure that it is a real doll and nothing like Chucky and his bride Tiffany. (Sidebar here: did you know that you can purchase those damn dolls off of eBay and Amazon? First let me say that the makers of the dolls may need some psychiatric help and those of you who have purchase these dolls already need to some counseling.)
What I am saying here is double check the damn doll before purchasing!
Here is where a parent should really start being concern. If your child tells some information that you know that child is too young to know. First have that crazy ass look on your face follow by asking that child to give you more details about the topic in which the child is explaining. Once that child has finish explaining, go get yourself a drink as you come to a comprehensive understanding as to what was explained to you. Understand this parents, your child does not need help, I recommend that you get rid of the doll first, if there is one. If not, then understand that your child may have done some research on that topic with the help of today's technology. You should still have that drink.
In my mind, I would be going like,”What kind of voodoo shit is going on here?”, “Who can I call to perform an exoticism on a toy?” followed by several more glasses of serious hard stuff. (Well hell, I need something to help me collect my thoughts!) However if my mother can get her blowup doll to talk, then I will leave all liquor alone.
The Puppet Master for those you who are familiar with the movie, I am glad that it came and went, and is currently buried somewhere. I have my mother to thank for freightening me with one things in life. Only person in this world that I trust with his talking dolls is Jeff Dunham the Ventriloquist. From Achmed to Bubba, Jose, Melvin, Sweet Daddy, Peanut and Walter, I am so glad that they all live with him. I can trust those dumdies for real. Not like Chucky . . . .Hell nah y’all!!! Chucky can come visit you at any damn given time!!
Until next folks!

Learning Language and Love

Okay so once again I was reading in my favorite book, The Book of Questions when I became stuck on this question: If it was the only way you could remain with the love of your life, would you be willing for both of you to wake up tomorrow as native speakers of an unfamiliar foreign language, knowing the within a week you’d permanently forget the languages you now speak and largely be cut off from your friends and culture?  If so, what new language would you want to speak, and why? The first thing that came to mind was who would not want a lover or have the thought of having that foreign lover who could either speak French and Italian.  I know I did and I think that is why I took up Spanish in high school for the last 2 years. Then when I got in college, I continue with my Spanish and I took up Russian, Greek and Italian. Crazy right? Considering the Greek and Russian alphabets are so similar and that Spanish and Italian have some similar words. It was not until 9 ye...

Is it Jealousy or What?

I so need to vent and usually when I vent I often go to one of my friends, however, what I need to vent about, I am sure that maybe one or two of you are also dealing with the same thing. I have some family members that are just simply either jealous of my accomplishments or just mad that they themselves did not also reach their own potential, goals or dreams. I am going to tell you two major things that bothers me about my family.  But first, let me give you some insight as to where this all came from. When I was young around when I was still in grade school, I told my grandmother that I was going to accomplish 3 things in my life: live in Europe (actually moved to Istanbul, Turkey), become a model which I never did and I forgot what the third thing was, however, I did accomplish it. I was also in  high school when I got pregnant with my son Nick, while I was in labor, I told my mother and my grandmother that I would never have another. So come 2006 or 2007 and my gr...

Breaking the Cycle!

As a parent we always want the best for our child(ren)., and we start with educating them on things that we think that would be best for them to know as they grow up.  I was still a teenager when I became pregnant with my only child, Nicolas.  Did I wanted a child at that time?  No I didn't and it was my mother who said to keep him and that she would help me raise him.  My mother was also a teenage parent starting with me and a year later came my one of two brothers.  Now you are probably thinking that my mother why didn't she teach me not to become a teenage parent?   I am assuming that and I was right, that she did not know how.  She wanted to do my best with my life but she did not know to explain to me how to go about living life.  Growing up with 3 younger siblings I saw the struggles that my mother went through, and in my head I knew that I was not willing to do some of things that she.  I knew in my head that if I was ...
