Yes, I'm afraid it's true! My 7 year old son begged for a Tamagotchi when we went to Toys R Us a couple months back. I tried to talk him out of it, since, from the package, it looked a bit too "involved" for a 7 year old to follow along with. Nothing doing, it was his birthday money that he was spending, so I let him get it.
Of course, I was right. After reading the directions and trying to explain it to him, I showed my son how to pause the tamagotchi, and it stayed on pause for the LONGEST time! (I think a big reason for this was that his egg hatched into a GIRL! EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, as every self respecting 7 year old boy would feel)
Well, I ignored it, too. After all, Moms have more important things to do than play with little electronic pets. Things like laundry! It was on laundry day when I was policing No. 1 Son's room for socks that escaped the hamper (somehow) that I came across the little Tamagotchi, forlornly sitting under the bed. I wrestled it from a dust bunny and started playing around.
Now I'm here, with my Tamagotchi, all grown up and waiting for the Matchmaker. We all still say she belongs to my son, though. :furawatchi:
