Amazing Amanda: cute doll, or tool of Satan?

A few weeks ago, I talked to you about Amazing Amanda, the little possessed doll that was on every child-technophile's Christmas list. Well, unfortunately, Mir's daughter (of Woulda Could Shoulda fame) brought one home with her -- it was a Christmas gift from her father.

Hearing Mir tell it, my worst fears were confirmed -- apparently this thing is as creepy as it sounds. Although, to be honest, I wasn't expecting the chilling description of the cold, clammy skin.

*shudder*

I've suggested that she talk her daughter into giving Amanda a nice long bath. In about two feet of water.

During the exorcism.

Thanks for the link Karen!

I love the way Mir describes Amanda. She has pretty much captured the fear and loathing that my husband and I feel for the doll. She. Must. Be. Stopped.

We got Amazing Amanda for our 3 1/2 year old daughter and I have to say I'm kind of enjoying it. Now my daughter knows what it's like to be me! She has a child that doesn't listen to her (Amanda only understands exact phrasing), she has a very needy child (When Amanda asked "Mommy, what she we do know?" my daughter answered with exasperation, "NOTHING.") and she runs around like crazy when Amanda announces she as to "go potty." The sweet irony is not lost on me!

How can I get my teenage son to open up?

Start by teaching him that it is safe to do so.
