Just what every parent wants...Justin Bieber in their child's mouth...

Get your dirty minds out of the gutter. Its a toothbrush...quite the opposite of what you were thinking, I'm sure. I came across this little gem at CVS today. *Just a reminder...as of yesterday only one shopping month left before my birthday...and I prefer the purple toothbrush* This made me laugh. Hard. In what world do we live in when a little (lets be honest...the kid barely clears the 5'6" mark) boy singer can conquer the toothbrush market with his singing toothbrushes??? I did some light stalking/research online and it turns out he has an entire LINE! There are also non-singing toothbrushes, floss, and a handy little bag to put it all in so that your Justin Bieber theme in your bathroom isn't disturbed.

In my opinion, this toothbrush joins the ranks of other "dubious" toys. Which include, but are not limited to:

Homeless American girl..."there's a new kid on the block: Gwen Thompson, who literally lives on the street. Gwen's story starts with a deadbeat dad who walks out on the family, leaving her single mom struggling to get by"

Breastfeeding doll..."Dolls that realistically close their eyes, bottle-feed and even wet themselves have long been a staple of the toy world. But Spanish company Berjuan has gone a bit too far with Bebé Glotón, the breast-feeding doll. Parents (shockingly) aren't fond of the bizarre doll, intended for girls ages 8 to 10, which comes with a halter-top-like bra that girls can put on and pretend to nurse with — complete with flowerlike nipples that make a loud suckling sound."

TSA Play set..."Why let your kids play with toys that encourage their wildest flights of fancy when you can teach them the joys of standing in line and following rules? For a cool $58, you can bring your kids up to speed on airport-security regulations imposed in the fearful wake of 9/11."

And my personal favorite...Harry Potter Vibrating broom..."Well, this was one way to keep Harry Potter fans interested as they grew up. Modeled after Harry's first broom, Mattel's now discontinued battery-operated Nimbus 2000 featured a grooved stick and handle for kids who wanted to ride it around the house. The dubious part: it vibrated."For the full list, and to see where I got the descriptions of the toys...please visit http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,1927306_1927313_1927315,00.html

Dear Blog...

Dear Blog,
Its not you, its me. I realize that our relationship has hit a couple of speedbumps. Life has happened...jobs are about to change...and I've been overall pretty freaking stressed out. But this is my promise to you...I WILL find something humorous to blog about this week. You just wait.

Spoiled?? No...

Its a well known fact that Lucy is a tad bit spoiled. I admit that maybe...just maybe...I give her too many toys and treats and such. This fact was never more apparent than it was today. I got a new purse (YAY!) today. I brought it home and partook in my favorite part of getting a new purse...switching the contents of the old purse into the new purse. The purse I got is a super cute over sized satchel. When I was in the store, I remembered noticing that it came with a detachable strap. As I'm switching things out, I'm sitting on the living room floor thinking to myself, "I know I saw the strap...I didn't imagine that...WHERE is it???" Meanwhile...I'm oblivious to what actually happened. Apparently, The Lucinator saw me bring a bag in and immediately assumed that the contents were a gift for her. So...when the strap fell out of the purse Lucille decided it was a gift for her, carted it across the living room and proceeded to chew on it.
I've created a monster.
