Remember those Furbies???

Ok...so some of you may remember when the kids meal came out that included a toy called the "McFurby". They came out in March of 1999.

Here's a peek....

At that time my mom would stop by McDonalds on her way home from work or for lunch and order a kids meal because she was watching her portions and this was a way to assist in the "portion control"diet. Well anyway, along with the portion controlled meal came the "McFurby" toy. She just so happen to think these little things were cute and would place them on her desk at work(quite a few, I might add).

Well, after she left that job of course the McFurbies left with her. So there they went...home with mom. Then mom moved to Fresno, then Oklahoma and of course, out of all the things she got rid of for the moves, the McFurbies were not included in the yard sale pile.

So the story continues..(I am going somewhere with this, I promise), mom then moved back to Fresno and stayed with my sister. Well, last year when sis moved to Nashville, mom came to stay with us. We are very happy to have her in our home especially since the rest of my family is all in Nashville.

Once this move got going, upon getting rid of some household items and going thru the storage unit, once again the "McFurby" container shows up, all of us can't believe she still had them....those things have moved all over the country with mom and just continue to keep showing up. This time was different though...mom did get rid of those ugly, fuzzy, bug-eyed, colored, big eared, plastic, toys that a child should be scared to look at....the only problem was....she gave them to Brooklin. I always knew her and mom had a "thing" going on...now I know....they both love those stupid"Furbies"...OMG!!! Brooklin was soooo happy, she loved them at first site, may I add...mom didn't give me a chance to even say no or to have a say in the adoption. So now they move to their new home..."Ours"!!!

Brooklin loves them so much she even talks to them. Yes, mom must have been saving them all 9 years for this special occasion....they did go to the right home.

Now these scary characters sit in Brooklin's room in the same plastic container they have lived in for years.

So I am proud of mom for letting them go finally, however, I have a feeling I will still have them 9 years from now as well, all 25 of them...they will quite possibly go off to college with Brooklin some day, the way she feels about them.

So, all that because I went in her room one day and this is what I saw....

"All my Furbies in a row"....

"They're so cute, do you like them Mommy?"

"Come here, little green Furbie"...

I just about fell over when I walked in her room. She was having such a great time with them all lined up. She was having a conversation with them. This child always has enjoyed just playing by herself...however, I think she is not really alone. At least, not according to her.....

Til next Time with T!!!!!
