Well this is a toughie for me. Are my kids wierd, or am I? They don't play with any toy's - and I actually find this really odd myself. The only thing that any of them has ever done, is Helena (aka - Lucy) found a stuffed animal that tasted good. She ate his face off - 3 times. She chewed him open, I sewed him shut, she chewed, I sewed, etc. I have given them all - lots of toys - from stuffed animals, stuffed micies, jingle balls, etc. I have spent about 100 bucks on toys for them but they don't play with any of em......is there something wrong with them, or ME? Romulous (aka - Ricky) loves to play with bags, plastic, paper, whatever. He goes bonkers when he hears the "crinkles" of a bag. He will get sooooo hyper when he plays with them too. It is fun to watch. All of them DO love to run thru their plastic tunnels though - but that is about it. Morganna loves to take and hide shoes and their insoles - but again, these aren't toys....any advice on how I can teach them to play with all these damn toys I bought em guys? Oh - and funny eats? Lucy climbed on the table yesterday when I was in the "powder room". She zeroed in on a SEALED ding-dong (yes the chocolate ones with the gooey cream inside...oh and uhm, it wasn't mine though, I swear! I don't eat them.....*winks*) - anyways - she not only zeroed in, she ripped the package open and was chowin down when I busted her. I came into the room - saw her on the table....and said: "Lucy!!!" She calmly looked up at me, wiped her face of with her paws, cleared her throat, and said: "what?" I'm not doing anything...I turned to shut off the light in the other room - and she grabbed her ding-dong and was headin for the edge of the table......rather like: I'm busted so I better take this and run if I want to keep eatin it!!! " It was soooo cute! No - she didn't get to keep it either, lol. She was a bit "miffed" at me for taking it from her though....
