Dan’s brothers are keeping Alyssa for the weekend. We took her over there on Friday evening, and they also agreed to watch Ryan so Dan and I could have a very rare, much enjoyed kid-free dinner out. But before we went to dinner, before I wrote about unique wedding favors, we made a quick trip to Toys ‘r Us to do some Christmas shopping (*gasp* yes, I said CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Me, the same person who usually doesn’t start gift shopping until two weeks before Christmas!).
So we’re in one of the toy aisles, probably the third or fourth we had looked through unsuccessfully in our quest to find Ryan some toys (why we bother with TOYS is beyond me. He loves toothbrushes, butt cream tubes, hair clips and spray bottles. We should just save our money and give him what he really wants!). Then we spot Wow Wow Wubzy, Backyardigans and Wonder Pets.
Dan: *points to sign* They spelled SEER-WEE-US wrong!
Me: *reading the name of one of the boxes* Hey, what do you think of the Wonder Pets Whale Wescue? Crap, I meant rescue!
Dan: Wescue. HAHAHAHAHA.
Me: Wescue! HAHAHAHAHA.
Me: *still looking at the same box* Oh my god, Dan, look! Ming Ming has SQUIRTING ACTION.
Dan: *hangs over the shopping cart while laughing his ass off*
Me: *cracks up*
I started singing the Wonder Pets theme song in the aisle.
Dan: Aren’t you embarrassed to be singing that?
Me: Here? No way. I bet you every person in this aisle (there was a woman less than five feet away from us) knows EXACTLY what Wonder Pets is, and knows the song just as well as we do!
Then we wandered over to the girly crap, and were checking out some of the Barbies for Alyssa.
Dan: Where’s Baby Momma Barbie?
Me: What about Welfare Mom Barbie? Oh, oh, and we can’t forget Baby Daddy Ken!
… Yes, we really are parents.

I would love to encounter you and Dan in Toys R Us. We would form an excellent stranger bond, of random adventure fun in the isles!
When Bryan and I go for a random walk around, we end up sword fighting in the isle on skateboards….. or stalking each other in the isles with koosh ball to the heads, and on rare occasions missing said target and getting strangers instead. *duck cover run!*

The phone, The phone is ringing……….
I sing it all the time. I don’t even have to be at a pet store I just break out in random cartoon theme song. I’m dreading the shopping this year, she wants everything and is at an age where it’s toyish and also kinda advanced stuff so I don’t know which ways to go. Did I mention she wants it all?
Kid free dinners rock. Sydney is having a spurt of I’m going to be a jackass at restaurants and scream about something just so people will look at us.

LOL! Sounds like you guys had fun!
This post totally reminded me…
Does anyone remember the “Pregnant Barbie”?! Well, I think it was actually the Midge doll, haha, but still…

LMAO! This could so totally be one of our trips to ToysRUs! I’m always blown away by some of the crap they’re making today. When I was a kid, if you wanted Barbie to be someone else, you bought her a new outfit. Nowadays, it’s a whole new doll. Crazy!

I went to Toys R Us for my first time in about ten years and I could not believe some of the dolls that they do sell. Baby Daddy Ken is great. Dress him up like Kevin Federline and have his car be a late nineties model sedan with a horrible sound system.
