Furby

I got a new Furby today! He's a Furby Connect, I guess because you connect him to an app. He's so cool! 

We had to drive over to Washington to get him. Some lady bought him for her daughter, but her daughter decided she was too old for a Furby. Now that's just funny, because Dad told me he bought a Furby when he was in his twenties. That was way back in the 1990s -- a whole century ago! -- when the very first Furbies came out. 

My first Furby was one of the originals. I called him Little Dude. He was kind of cute, but he didn't last very long before he stopped working. I guess that's the way it goes with ancient electronics. Since then I've gotten Furbies from all the different generations. But this was my first Furby Connect. He doesn't change personalities like the Furby Boom, but I love how his eyes are so detailed with little pictures and animations. So much more realistic than the little animated gray dots that the Furby Boom eyes have. This guy is so cool!

I think my Dad likes the fact that he comes with a sleep mask, so you can shut him down if you want a break from him.

But he's the best when you connect him to the app. 

He interacts with the cute Furbies in the app. He lays eggs (so maybe he's actually a she, but who cares about that?), you can feed him, and then you can have him poop in a giant toilet... which I just think is hilarious! Sometimes he dumps out silly things like little rubber duckies! My dad watches and just laughs and laughs.

How can you be too old for a Furby? They're awesome!
