Twisted Tuesday...The White House



Ok, there is this house on our way to Isaiah's school and it is painted white...*gasp*...I know some of you are thinking, "yeah, so is mine." Well, this particular house is painted white from "head-to-toe". I mean they've even painted the front door white...and their city-issued trash bin (up by the garage...I know it kinda blends in), and their city-issued meter, and their garden hose , and their fence, and their mailbox...need I say more? Weird, don't you think? Anyone have any guesses as to WHY they would paint EVERYTHING white? I'm just curious.

Twisted Tuesday

I think I've decided that I'll do a blog every Tuesday called Twisted Tuesday. It's just going to be random...sometimes crazy, sometimes funny...or off-the-wall...or whatever strikes my fancy. You all can join in too, if you want! I'm going to get a cute little header made asap, but I haven't done it...yet! But I promise I will...soon!

This Tuesday I'd like to talk about this doll made by Fisher Price. It's one of the Mommy and Me dolls. It recently made the news around here in Oklahoma. Some parents who bought this doll for their 3 yo little girl realized that the doll says a certain phrase that is mixed in with the coos and jabbering. I hadn't seen one in person until this past Saturday. My mom and I took Isaiah to Toys R Us as a reward for being so "helpful" at work. To my surprise, there was one of the dolls on the shelf. So, I picked it up and started playing with it, not expecting to hear this before mentioned "phrase" so plainly...but I did...and it was a little shocking. This is some really bad footage of the talking doll I took from my phone...the saying is "Islam is the light"...listen carefully. (you might have to turn your speakers up...oh, and pause my playlist)



Now, I'm not trying to offend anyone, but for me as a Christian, I sort of took offense to this doll. If I can be honest, (which I can, because this is my blog), it kinda freaked me out. I don't know about you, but I don't want my child playing with a doll that says "Islam is the light"...that's just me.

I think it's a little twisted.
