I love Posy Simmonds.

Rosie's best ever present was a grey plastic upright vacuum cleaner from my grandparents. Nothing ever came close.

[callmemadam]

Posy got everything so exactly right.

The expression on the styling bust looks positively malevolent.

Something Midwich Cuckoo about her. She'd frighten me if I were a child but then I've always found bodyless heads rather creepy.

I was utterly charmed by a video of my nephew pretending to hoover the hallway, especially movin the shoes out of the way and back again, but was aware that if it was a niece I'd find it a bit more dubious.

[callmemadam]

His mother moves the shoes to clean? What a splendid example.

I would love to be able to respond and say "no, his father does", but it is in fact my sister who does that! She is very domesticated, think she got my share.

I was reminiscing once about the toy iron I had (it had a pink sucker you licked and stuck to the wall representing the plug, thus teaching highly safe practice with electricity) and my friend J said eagerly "I used to have one of those!" Then he realised he'd sounded a bit too enthusiastic.

[callmemadam]

Heh!

My in-laws have bought J some Christmas presents in Lidl's toy sale - a doll's house and a marble run. I can live with that!

Even I would like a doll's house!
