Birthdays and wallabies



I have a friend who convinced a four year old (both parties shall remain nameless) that her stuffed bear was really a stuffed wallaby. But instead of calling it a wallaby, she now refers to it as a "kowallaby" so what used to be a simple bear is now some sort of amazing koala bear/wallaby hybrid super animal. BUT, it still looks like a bear! (See above) The poor parents have to go around constantly explaining what happened all while silently cursing their friend. As a casual bystander, not at all involved in the situation, I think the friend should have to make amends to the parents somehow, don't you? Maybe with a sweet birthday drum set?

  1. This is an outrage! Whomever is responsible for this parental abuse needs to come forward immediately! (prefferably with drumset in hand...)

  2. I don't think these parents you speak of understand what kind of "can of worms" they are opening by getting a birthday drum set or any drum set
    for said child.
    On second thought...
