Bloody Kids

[poliphilo]

Someone just gave me a Kinder Egg. You know, one of those chocolatey things with an ingenious plastic toy inside. When the kids were small I used to buy them Kinders so I could build up my collection of Kinder toys. They were weird, surreal, they were like things out of Hieronymous Bosh. But the kids had other ideas. They wanted to play with them. they wanted to disassemble them. They wanted to lose the constituent parts. Bah. Childhood is wasted on kids.

My new Kinder toy is a fat-faced queen- in fact she's all face- she doesn't have a body- on rollers. You can push her around- whee! Ain't that amazing! I'm gonna keep her on the mantlepiece.

And you! Yes, I'm talking to you! You can keep your sticky little fingers to yourself!

I never saw the point of the collectible figurines that come in some Kinder Eggs. I want something you have to put together yourself. So I always shake the eggs to make sure they sound as if they contain several components.

On my desk I have a motorbike, an orange car and a pink fish in a turban riding on a stingray.

This all sounds very surreal, like something out of Alice in Wonderland.

A fat-faced-queen face on rollers on the mantelpiece?

You eat the chocolate and hopefully not the interior surprise?

What happens if you accidentally swallow a wheel off the queen?

Fascinating.

I got a little telephone with feet from my Kinder Egg yesterday. I was quite upset, cos my boyfriend got a far cooler Evil Mole on a big chair with a red button.

Hehe, too true. When you grow out of childhood, the toys you played with are suddenly these precious gems you need to hold onto. I'm really fascinated by a lot of the current toys that are out there too. I guess I probably broke some of my toys when I was little, but I love to collect them now :)
