Damn Nunzilla

I bought this toy off the internet a couple of years ago and occassionally it comes out and provides mild entertainment for a few minutes, among adults that is. Kids however, seem to have a different reaction.

Last year my niece, she was 3 years old at the time, discovered Nunzilla and began to scream and wail and point, until we took Nunzilla away. I’m pretty sure she still has nightmares about this tiny, plastic demon.

My daughter, who is only 1, just recently found Nunzilla and was curious. So I wound it up and set it on the table, sparks fly out of it’s mouth and it makes this horrible whirrring sound. Immediately she latched onto me and began to scream. For the next few days, she kept looking for Nunzilla and latching onto me as soon as she saw her. She became obsessed, she was so curious and entirely terrified of this small shiney, spark-wielding nun.

Something had to be done. So I did what any catholic would do to a ferocious demon, I burnt it.  Oh and surprisingly, fire wasn’t enough, she still walks and spits sparks, but in this strange munted fashion. She now lives somewhere in our back garden.
