Everything You Wanted to Know About Zhu Zhu Pets, But Were Afraid to Ask.

You know the zhu zhu pet craze of late 2009? (pronounced, of course, zoo zoo)

We didn't go crazy but each of our children received a zhu zhu pet from Santa.

Of course after 3 weeks the zhu zhu pets were stashed in a dark bedroom corner.

Until now!

We have revived interest in zhu zhus! {yay?}

And why exactly am I blogging about these darn things?

Aside from the fact that they are sort of funny...

Kung Zhu!

These are the fighting zhu zhu pets.

And Bella wanted to spend her allowance on one.

A "good guy" of course.

Here were some questions for her:

Me: So how are these different from your other zhu zhu pets?

Bella: They have a hurt eye.

Me: You need a new one because of the eye? I could take a marker and mark up one of the ones you have...

Bella: {exasperated tone} Mom, they got it from FIGHTING!

Me: How do you know if you got a good guy?

Bella: {losing interest in my questions} they are red and the bad guys are blue.

BUT {renewed interest in conversation} Shayla's zhu zhu pet was a good guy but it turned bad.

Me: ??

Bella: My Kan Zhu's name is

Cotton Candy Bruise Monster.

'nuff said.
