It started to shake back and forth, it made weird noises, and it’s LED eyes were flashing like strobe lights. ![]() It gave itself a name? It was becoming more sentient with each passing day.Īnd then, in the middle of Mira trying to teach it to dance, something very bad happened. The next day it was back to a valley girl again, and even seemed to name itself Coco. Mira found that hilarious and I suffered through the noise because she liked this toy so much. I didn’t see it happen, but suddenly it was speaking like a cowboy and mooing at us, with chicks and cows appearing in the LED eyes at times. Well, a version of English better suited to the movie Clueless, perhaps.Īfter the second or third day, it had the first personality shift.
