So has anyone heard about these "reborn" dolls? They are VERY life like dolls that look and feel like real newborn dolls. They are even weighted to an infant's weight. They are extremely expensive. I'm talking like 700 dollars expensive....
Anyway, today I'm walking through my friendly neighborhood Walmart and there is a lovely young African-American couple walking in front of me and the man who for entertainment purposes I'm going to call "Darrell" is holding what I assume to be his infant daughter in his arms. I follow them almost to the front when they stop so "Takeisha" can look at something at the end of the isle. So naturally I go around them and as I do I sneak a peek at the baby as I do (I do this with all babies. I'm not creepy, it's part of my profession to pay attention to children and I usually congratulate the parents on such a beautiful baby). I look and look away. There is something wrong. I look again and realize that it's a doll. At this point Takeisha turns to me and says, "You have a problem with my baby?" to which I say "No. She's very beautiful." and walk away. End of story.
You see I saw a story like this on Anderson Cooper's show a couple of months ago. People actually dress these dolls up and take them out to show off. When she turned to me and said that I fully expect she wanted attention just like the women on Anderson. I did not give her that satisfaction. Sorry Takeisha. Not getting a rise out of me.
That'll be the day when I spend $700 on a doll.
That'll be the day when I take it out to show it off to the world.
Although it would be nice to model my knitting/crochet on....
