demons for your daughters

Filed under incidentals

Dom,Loenne, and I hit up the mall this morning for a few baby supplies. We discovered this in Toy’s R Us. Is it just us, or is this totally wrong?

It’s a pink Ouija board, for ages 8 and up! The Mystifying Oracle comes with ‘question cards’ with ‘72 fun things to ask’.  So if you want your little girl to invoke evil spirits into your home in girly style. . . 

Funnily enough, when I was about 9 or 10 I asked for a Ouija board for Christmas, which my brother got for me. I don’t even know how I knew what a Ouija board was, in my sheltered-two tv channel-rural prairie upbringing. It was probably those bitches in the Baby Sitters Club books that got me into the idea. We used it for the first time in my Nana’s basement, which was a little scary on a good day. Me, my brother, and cousins asked various innocent questions like, “When am I going to die?”. I think Ouija said my life was going to end at 26. Guess what? I’m 29. Take that, Ouija.  Case in point, I am not sure a Ouija board is a good toy for a child! Pink or not.

Dom got a little too close to the Mystifying Oracle and I almost had to perform an exorcism.

Mua ha ha ha.
