The Tamagotchi virtual pet has got to be the most annoying childrens toy. I mean it was much more annoying than our terrier. It captured the imagination and completely captivated my seven year old daughter. She quickly got the hang of it but still managed to allow over 10 to die and return to Tamagotchi Heaven. This was despite the experienced mother instinct of her mum and dads experience in cleaning up after animals. The first "death" was devastating, but after each sad event, it became very routine. The enormity of it all was resolved with the click of two buttons. The constant beeping was only relieved last Monday when it went caput, never to work again. Despite some emergency Daddy medical care and lacking the receipt, the Tamagotchi has become the latest discarded toy stuffed in the storage cupboard. The question is should we bury it? Bye Bye Tamagotchi It is a virtual pet after all. Perhaps an online mass graveyard? Could we stand to get another? She still holds out hope that it will start up again. Not long until "Can I get another Tamagotchi?? Pleeeease Daddy............
