talking giraffes

the iPhone is a wonderful tool for entertaining the kiddos, especially when we're on the verge of a unstoppable public breakdown (in target, at the grocery store. etc.)  as such, I am always on the hunt for new free kid-focused apps.  i downloaded this gem – talking gina the giraffe – last week.  basically you say something to gina and she repeats it back to you (aka records a snippet of you talking and plays it back), but in a funny, distorted voice.

 

both kids love it.  pickle just giggles whenever the giraffe "talks" regardless of what she's saying.  but quentin is full-on obsessed.  he keeps asking to see the giraffe.  he likes to "talk" to her but i don't think he quite gets that she just spits back what he says (and therefore is not actually as obsessed with trucks as he is.)  i think he thinks he is involved on some sort of bizarre-world video conference call with a cartoon giraffe, because he will run and grab a truck and say, "look giraffe! gravedigger!" which is the same thing he does when he is on the phone with an actual human being.
