la_rainetteI have a confession to make.
It's a little embarrassing, though.
The truth is, I really like the Tamagotchis. I am the main Tamagotchi takecarer in the house, and I like them for all sorts of reasons.
See, they do not get into the Magic Cupboard in which the Christmas presents/wrapping paper are stored; they do not kick, strangle, smother or otherwise attempt to torture the cat; they do not drop treacherous wheeled toys at the top of the stairs, thus making you feel like you're living with THE ANTICHRIST OMG GET THAT TRICYCLE AWAY FROM THEM!
They may not like bananas, but then they'll let you know once and for all, and they won't change their mind in the middle of the meal or barf all over your hardwood floors. Granted, they do not flush the toilet, but hey, neither do my girls.
You feed them, you pet them, you play with them, they're happy. If they're not, you yell at them, and then they might no be happy, but at least they no longer sulk/cry. They're very predictable that way.
So this is a vacation time for me. A wonderful break from real life children, because making real life children happy is hard, and you're never really sure that you're doing things right. But with the Tamagotchi, you can't go wrong, really. They're easy to please, and if you mess up their education, you know they still won't grab a gun and start blowing their classmates up. You really can't lose.
And in other Tamagotchi news, we've just had a baby.
Which is nothing surprising apparently, it's just, the wonders of Tamagotchi-Sex amuse me immensely. Boy Tamagotchi meets Girl Tamagotchi, you get asked if Love Ensues (Yes, No, Take your pick. Pity-fuck or Let's just be friends are not options). Tamagotchi love is of the wham-bam-thank-you-mam, one-minute-stand variety, and euphemistically disguised as poetic fireworks that make your tiny screen shake in ecstasy.
Now, since the Tamagotchi was already fully happy BEFORE the act, I cannot conclude that Firworks!Sex had any effect on its, erm, spiritual fullfilment, but I fully plan to try that one again with the next generation of Tamagotchis. At any rate, and however powerful -- or unimpressive -- the Tamagotchi orgasm, the female took off right away, leaving our poor boy Tamagotchi behind to care for his baby ALL ALONE. *shakes head*
In the meanwhile, as Froglet pointed out, I have been promoted great-grandmother.
"That's nothing", said Husband. "Wait til your mom knows what it makes her"
I can't wait. *g*

The Matchmaker came as a nasty shock to me, since it arrived when I was Gotchisitting and really, who is going to say no to 'love?'. The Babygotchi was unexpected. But...yes, very amusing.

If "real" Tamagotchis (like Froglet's and Tadpole's) met up, would they decide to have babies immediately, or would they go on play dates and have dinner by candlelight first?

Date: 2005-11-22 08:39 am (UTC)They do have playdates, but no dinners by candlelight -- they jump straight to the Love? YES - NO question, and according to the answer, go on their merry ways or enjoy a bout of fireworks!Sex.
It's all very straightforward, really.

Just like the Deep South, then...
