T.M.X.
2 years, 3 months ago on Tuesday, September 19th, 2006, in the wee hours
I happened to find out the Elmo T.M.X. was the hot toy this season and it was being released today when I was checking news on my phone while at the car dealership this morning. I decided to venture on over to Toys R Us on my way home and see if they had any. When I arrived there they actually had quite a few, so I decided to to buy one for Liah.
I must admit, the toy is somewhat cool. Elmo manages to sit down and even lie down on the floor, all while laughing hysterically, and then stand back up by himself. Liah, on the other hand, did not take to Elmo so well. Liah doesn’t care for TV yet, so she isn’t familiar with Elmo. As it turns out, his maniacal laughing and body gyrations freaks her out and she appears to be a bit scared of Elmo. However, she loves the box Elmo T.M.X. comes in! It’s shaped like a little suitcase and she carries it around with her all over the house. Go figure. (You are correct in that I did not wait until Christmas to give it to Liah, but rather opened it up as soon as I got home!)
I did think about buying some for Ebay at the time, but didn’t bother. I’m no saint however, as this evening I went to a few stores to buy extra T.M.X.’s, but everyplace was sold out, and the darn things are already going for over $100 on Ebay! No, I’m not going to sell Liah’s T.M.X….well, maybe if she continues to run away from Elmo every time I put him near her!
