The most annoying present your kid(s) got |
|
Or you got . . .
My daughter got a fake cat that is supposed to look, sound and act real. It purrs when you pet it. It meows and lifts its head.
But it does it really really LOUDLY.
And we HAVE A REAL LIVE CAT ALREADY!
LOL
Who gets a kid with a real cat a fake cat that looks real?

4. This little remote-controlled car that is really, really, really, |
|
really, really LOUD.
It just makes a lot of noise skittering across the hardwood floors. The videos of monster trucks and police cars are quieter.

7. I use to work in a toy store |
|
One of my favorite customers walked up to me at the register saying he was shopping for a 5 yr old boy and wanted to find the most annoying gift for a parent he could. I told him we were out of drum sets but to try toy guitars and toy guns with lots of lights and sound effects. The manager was working the floor so she helped him look in the isles and when he came back to my register he had a guitar with special buttons that played the entrance music to some of the WWF (I don't think it was WWE yet) stars and a large riffle with lights, loud sounds and moving parts. After selling him twenty batteries for each I asked if it was for a sibling's child. He said it was for his boss's son. This was payback for all he went through at work ;-).

9. My husband and his sisters used to do that at Christmas |
|
They bought each others' kids the loudest, most obnoxious toys they could find. I told them one Christmas that if I ever divorced him, the loud toys at Christmas would be one of the main reasons.
We still laugh about the Big Mouth Singers - OMG, they were horrible; and the train that whistled and made really obnoxious sounds when it bumped into things.

6. My daughter got one of those last year... |
|
and we have three real cats. She wanted it, and she does play with it, but I have to wonder why.
As for this year, we haven't done presents yet. Waiting for the weird snow to melt so we can make the drive to the in-laws.

13. I gave somebody a fake cat |
|
They don't have a real cat. They have 7 hamsters. I'm so bad. The hamsters will surely die of a heart attack.

That we bought for our 3 1/2 year old. It's great but the volume button resets to 'wake the dead' mode when you turn it off. She has also managed to hit her little sister a few times with it while twirling around.

16. My son got a musical potty training seat one year. |
|
From my alcoholic ex-father-in-law. When flushed, it played Roll Out the Barrel.
VERY annoying at the time, but pretty funny in retrospect.

OK you've got to have earned some kind of "annoying present" prize for that one!

18. When my half brother was little |
|
I used to go to the toy store and ASK for the loudest, most annoying toy in the building.
HATED my Step Monster and thought it would drive her nuts!
Dad thought it was funny.

My granddaughter got a fake cat, too, from her uncle, my son. It does not like to have its tail twisted or pulled. It also came with a smaller kitten. My granddaughter said that the kitten was a mean one, you could tell it from her eyes. I don't know what they cost, but we had plenty of fun with them.

20. Mine haven't opened presents from relatives, yet. |
|
We're still snowed and iced in, so we didn't get to make the trip to Grandma's. The other in-laws are coming tomorrow. So, I'm still in suspense as to what loud, annoying and obnoxious toys my kids will get this year.
