Friendship= $119.99????

So crazy time is here!! the last few days before las pascuas, navidad and then we got the reyes magos. Shopping maddness at its best. I thought i had seen everything, but then...

i was out today trying to buy some gifts for las niñas and we go to the land of " i don't wanna grow up" aka Toys R Us. While we are there i am looking around looking for what NOT to buy and then i see this thing that scared me bien feo.

A life size dora doll. no joke.

 

 

now this doll stands about 3 feet tall. That is the size of an average 4 year old ( if you look closely at the bottom right, you see a lil girl coming dora's hair. use if for size comparison). Now, imagine been a small kid and you get this doll, i would be a bit intimidated, having this plastic thing that is as big as me be my "friend." But thats not what tripped me out. The crazy thing is that this thing talks! ( insert flasbacks of the first chuckie movie).

 

At the time i was wondering, who seriously pays for one? especially when the price for this doll is $119.99!

 

 

i seriously was thinking that it had to be a sick joke, that much money for a doll that will probably only be used for a couple of weeks and then forgotten. I mean if you can swing to pay tha kinda money for 1 present, go for it!

But i never really thought that a child's social interaction be replaced by doll like this. Pretty much its friendship on sale.I mean a relationship with one's toy is important, it helps the imagination. but one with other kids is more important. In fact its essential. I was told that friendship had no price. But Kids R Us begs to differ, and it feels that the right price for that relationship should be $119.99.

 

what are your thoughts?
