Wiiwaa: Play it with a Puppet... Yes, a Puppet

I had this idea when I was a kid. Always wanted something like it.

What size do you wear so we can send you the appropriate sized tutu

On a more serious note...I just saw a presentation on puppet therapy. I'm wondering how this could be used in play therapy...if at all...but might be interesting to try...

I sure as hell wouldn't be "rocking him to sleep" like the kid does at the end of the video. This video seems to think that little boys are little girls with shorter hair.

Funny, I've never thought of you as the epitome of masculinity.

And what preytell made you think that? Might you be making assumptions about gender roles on other criteria?

Perhaps. I guess I shouldn't make that sort of judgment, and I apologize for doing so. I mean it.



I'm sure that you are quite the stud, EG.

I agree that this could be quite popular for a certain age group. Even though I wasn't much of a gamer back then (that conversion happened during the N64 years), I remember having a My Pet Monster when I was younger and this isn't that far off.
