Lol. If the manufacturer suddenly starts making "ear clips" or some such for Scooby that look like nipple-clamps then you definitely know something's up.
I don't even know what a stuffed Scooby Doo would consist of, but is the idea that, using a STIFF toy leash, you can "walk" a stuffed animal around as if it were alive? I saw a wired leash and empty collar once, with which someone was walking an invisible dog. This would be like that, except with a stuffed animal where the empty collar was? Ingenious, if so.
However, isn't there some kind of rule against using your child's stuff as pervertibles? Seems like there ought to be. For one thing, if it breaks, wears out, frays or is otherwise modified in alternative usage, how the heck will you explain THAT to her? "Um, Mommy and Daddy decided to take Scooby for a walk while you were asleep, and ... he pulled his leash under the vacuum cleaner while it was on, yeah, that's what happened"?
And no, Chris hasn't used it. I'm not even sure he knows where it is, exactly. Besides, he'd have to venture into her room to retrieve it ... and run the risk of her waking up.
In any event, I'm just not thrilled with watching her walk around with it in hand.
Thanks for the reply. So that makes you nervous, eh? Wait till the first time SHE figures out the alternate use, and swats herself or someone else with the leash. Or wait till she's old enough to brush her own hair and figures out the alternate use for a hairbrush. Or buys an outfit that includes an extra-wide belt. I'm convinced most children have some spanko in them; most of us just grow out of it. You have all sorts of nervous-making moments to look forward to. :-)

I write about spanking, discipline, and my obsessions, but also about parenting, politics, faith, the Internet, marriage and pretty much anything else capturing my attention. If this is a brief exploration for you, welcome! If this is a discovery and you come back again and again ... hallelujah! You don't have to agree with me, you don't have to read me. But I think it. I dream it. I write it. I stand by it. And sometimes I am spanked for it.

That's the idea, Michael.
And no, Chris hasn't used it. I'm not even sure he knows where it is, exactly. Besides, he'd have to venture into her room to retrieve it ... and run the risk of her waking up.
