My auntie gave us a paper towel holder in the guise of a little plastic penguin. It has a button on its head that you push and it makes what's supposed to be a penguin sound. It sort of grows on you but I have no idea why in the world she decided we needed one.

My friends' baby daughter got one of those Let's Pretend Elmo dolls for Christmas... he was telling me that in the middle of the night he heard something that made the cats scatter and him sit bolt upright in bed. He sat there for a minute, listening... and he heard... "Okay. We'll play later."

Mister and I have already decided that Big Mouth Billy Bass would make GREAT target practice. :)
