I hate Zhu Zhu Pets
Posted by admin · 3 Comments
Yep, those are the little suckers kids (a.k.a. Zhu Zhu Pets) are swooning for this holiday season. Well, at least my girls are or they were. My husband was supposed to keep both “Pip Squeak and Num-Num” as they are affectionately called under wraps til Christmas but he just couldn’t wait! A couple of weeks ago while daddy’s little gals were wrapping him around their proverbial finger – he got weak and handed over the hidden loot. After a few eye rolls and several heavy sighs I got over it and we went about our day.
Pip Squeak and Num-Num were insta-family pets. I thought it was silly and kinda cute so I just rolled with it. The girls played for hours with the furry fake critters. They kept them by their side during breakfast and dinner and made a special place for them in their beds. And then it happened. Pip Squeak and Num Num freakin’ disappeared! If these were real live hamsters I’d understand why they’d want to make a mad dash from our house but these are fake hamsters people and they’re gone. Under normal circumstances I wouldn’t care (shoot, they were only 8-bucks each) but my 4-year daughter is acting like she’s been dumped by George Clooney! The tears, the long face, the moping… Uggggggggggg!
Soooo, that my friends is why I hate Zhu Zhu Pets.
Lizzie . . . Zhu Zhu pets also sound like frat boys! (Love the George Clooney metaphor)
Stop the hate! What’s the big deal — if they were only $8 bucks, suck it up and go get a couple more of the hampsters. You said yourself they were insta-FAMILY pets, I’d be crushed too! And should the originals be founds, well then what great fun that will be — and what a perfect learning opportunity! Hampsters are a lot like rabbits, right?! They just multiply. So suck it up and keep rolling with it — the zhu zhu pets didn’t make a mad dash out the door but you should…right to the store to get some more!
Kids will surely do anything to get Zhu Zhu pets. I find my son amusing when he asked for his own Zhu Zhu pets.
