Don't mind me. I'll just be keeping busy with my Tamagotchi.
Wait...
I think I get that reference!
Those were like those little 'neopets' things, yes?
If so, I was tasked with keeping one alive while my daughter went off to a summer camp. It didn't survive the first week.
You are indeed correct. They were stupid little egg-shaped toys that you had to regularly "feed" and otherwise care for.
Yeah, my daughter still sometimes brings it up. I don't think she had the tamawhateverthefuckitscalled, but had some other one.
When I first took my granddaughter overnight, she mentioned that I'd neglected her fake pet. I pointed out that I'd also raised her and did just fine.
But, that was the last time she's referenced it. I'm pretty sure she's going to hold that against me for the rest of my life.
