Would you buy your grandchild a pooping flamingo?

If it's...

I`d meow if i had a pencil shoved up my bum Nortsat.
Not on my shopping list.

OMG I didn't know you could get these. My grandson would love it, he's just reached the age of enjoying lavatory humour. Today he recorded a voice message saying he'd have a video chat to me on Poopday (thats what he decided to call Sunday)

No, I wouldn’t. And why a flamingo.? ....bit random . By the way, if anyone had a grandchild who is struggling with potty training , I can thoroughly recommend a ‘toy’ flushing toilet potty. It worked within a day for my youngest grandchild : a not expensive but worth it .

I can imagine little children in the’anal’ stage would love them.
£30????? What’s the world coming to. I got my 4 yr old Dgd a book called Poo at the Zoo. It’s very funny and educational too, would you believe. . She loves it.

No, I don’t think I would. And it sounds very messy!

Probably not something I'd get the GC but I have to admit that I've bought them whoopie cushions in the past and they loved them.

That supermarket that has a central aisle of weekly special offers recently sold science experiments kits for children. They had one that was about replicating bodily functions, like snot, blood etc. I looked at that as a possible stocking filler for GD aged 8 but decided against it and got the volcano kit instead!

The Pooping Flamingo was on the list of suggestions that I was sent when I asked DiL what DGD might like from us this year.
I know DGD well enough to know that it would be a one-day wonder, and a complete waste of money, so I opted for what I thought was a much more suitable present on the list. No doubt she will still get the sh***y flamingo from someone else though!

My grandchildren have varying pig game! They love it!!

Yes, why not?
I’m led to believe that even the Queen does ‘it’

No I would not. A pooping unicorn now that would be a different matter.

I think that's a great toy. It teaches children about body functions without being embarrassed. Too many people delay seeing GPs about bladder and bowel problems because they are still taboo subjects

Yes- and would probably buy one for myself too! We are going to have the Fill your Pants game , where you put on huge pants and then race to stuff all the items on a list in them; ie something red, something soft etc. Growing old is inevitable; growing up is a choice ??

That sounds fun!

I put a book in one of my GSs stockings last year called I need a New Butt by Dawn McMillan, he loved it.

I saw a sign you put outside the loo door which read "Warning, deeply satisfying poo in progress. Keep out!" Can't say I found it funny, but of course, young kids do!

Most young children go through a stage of finding bodily functions hysterically funny, part of growing up. I don't have a problem with the flamingo toy apart from the price.

Absolutely not. I know that I will be called a miserable killjoy. One of the reasons we are in lockdown with Covid is our abuse if the planet and its valuable resources. We all have too much stuff that we do not need. Most of the plastic toys are novelty 5 min wonders, which end up in landfill. Children do not need any of this. Our grandchildren have been happiest when taken outside just to use their imagination and use what is around them. We must all learn that less is more.

Surely one game qualifies as less?

Years ago, my father was given a plastic donkey cigarette case. When the tail was lifted, the cigarette was delivered via his bottom. (am I allowed to say an*s on Gransnet?)

I remember those!
Perhaps my nan had one.
You pulled the donkeys ears forward, the tail lifted, and a fag came out it's bum.

No idea why nan had one; she never smoked!

Yes, in a trice.

No

He would probably love a pregnant Barbie !

Selling at £33 to £46 for a bit of tat that will be in the bin before New Year. Not a chance of me buying it whether it was on a list or not.
Gave up buying rubbish, plastic and tat a good few years ago.
