Here is a little clarification. Some of you who know much more about tamagotchi than I may know if this is possible. Understand that this information is coming from a 6 year old. Also understand that I know almost nothing about these little toys (Thus the misspelling in my first post, etc.) I could use some help interpreting what might have happened, I certainly don't want it to happen again.
The two tamagotchi's played a game. My son's tama won the game. After the game my daughter's Tama, an adult of only a few hours, built a robot and sent it to my son. They send each other presents often. The "robot" is what killed both the adult and child. My son says with a sword or knife. (Sorry I can't remember all the details and dare not ask too many questions.)
I'm relieved that this isn't common. I'm a little leery, because "something" did happened. I'd love some help figuring out what it might have been. He'd had Tamas die and while it bummed him out a little, it wasn't any thing traumatic. This was a big deal - serious tears. My daughter started her Tama over - time out didn't seem severe enough to her. My son still won't let his Tama play with hers. He thinks hers should pretty much live in time out.
Sorry if I sound new to Tamagotchi's and web postings - I am. I appreciate the input.
