- Yikes! Whose baby is this?
Not too long ago, I was staggering through a local antique mall in search of vintage postcards or whatnot. I turned a corner, stepped into one of the cluttered booths, and encountered … THIS horrible creature.
It was fairly early in the morning, and my first thought was that an awful tragedy had occurred. Somebody, perhaps distracted by all the pricey knickknacks around them, had inexplicably left their baby behind, strapped into a high chair, and the poor thing had starved to death, overnight. He certainly didn’t look very well off, that’s for sure.
But, being the brave man that I am, I took a deep breath and took a closer look, and discovered that this was a DOLL. A very lifelike doll, I might add. Or perhaps I should say a very “deathlike” doll. And clad in a bright UT-orange jumper, which really didn’t help.
I tagged this post “Mysteries” because I am truly baffled why any company would produce such a disgusting, depressing doll. And — just as disturbing — why would anyone buy it? What is it, part of the new “Dead Baby” line of children’s toys? And judging from the price tag looped around his wrist, a real bargain at $195!
Here’s a closer look at his face. Cute little fellow, isn’t he? Don’t you just want to run your hand through his thinning, grizzled hair? And I promise you, it IS a doll.
