Cut the Cord

I’m sorry, but this is terrifying. You want to give this to a child? I’m a grown woman and I want to lock myself in the laundry room. Seriously, when you’re following a pattern to crochet a placenta, you need a time out. Put this whole thing in the trash and go to Toys ‘R Us. Your kid is going to grow up to hate you anyway. Don’t rush it.

Something like this should be used in all high school sex ed classes, it would do a lot to cut down on teen pregnancies. And having sex period.

Oh, Come on. Why stop here? Let’s crochet a post-partum Mama with hemmorrhoids and 2nd degree laceration scars.We could use all natural plant dyes to create the look of blood. I feel really left out as a crocheter that I merely showed my kids pictures of childbirth.

What really scares me is the idea that the crafter’s bush looks like that.
Goddamn hippies.

I enjoyed the design much more when I thought a tiny Gene Shalit was emerging from the crocheted vagina.

You ever see that movie “The Ring”? The second one, where they meet Mom in the asylum? Yeah. This comes to mind. Perhaps they should have used it as a prop.

What a coincidence, Stinkbait: I’ll soon be working on a Yeast Infection doll. It’s on hold until I finish “guy writhing on a mattress full of bed bugs”. That one is gonna be my masterpiece.

Oh wow! I never thought I would be relieved when looking at something like this. That is the TOP of the baby’s head peeking out and that is the baby’s hair. Wow… took me a second…

At first glance I was thinking “Why, in the name of all that is holy, is the baby puking pubes?”

Now, realizing what it actually is, I feel a slight sense of relief.

There are many fun things I am thinking! I am so curious about this pattern. Does the baby come out? Is there a pot smoking hippie dad included to cut then cook up the attached placenta? Is it patchouli scented? Is it made from hemp? Are there other attachments? Why did someone make this? Do they not have a school or a library in their commune?

This is horrible, and omg teh bush. YIKES. That said, you must realize this has nothing to do with children, right? Most childbirth educators aren’t shopping at Toys R Us, and they definitely aren’t selling their teaching materials as toys. This thing is repellent for reasons other than it not looking like something at a toy store – models of placentas, pelvis bones, etc. are probably not on Toys R Us’ radar either, kwim?

Every time I look at this, I think it’s a drunken pregnant woman passed out on top of Carlos Santana, which may be even more educational than such a doll aims to be.

Yeah, but the kids might get confused because you can put the baby back IN. Among other things. Actually you could top your pencil with it and take it to school.

What disturbs me even more is the fact that they aren’t seeling the doll, but the pattern to make the doll! What kind of weirdo would sit around crocheting a childbirth?

“Oh, granny what are you making today.”

“Well Litte Timmy, this is how babies come out of mommies.”

I agree who would think to crochet this . Isn’t there like 8million better things to crochet out there. I wonder if I an pick up a finished one at the local craft fair?? The person who thought of this is very bored or disturbed and needs to shave

Thought this one was creepy but I found even creepier from this seller:

I also wonder what could ‘toys (not for children)’ be. I can’t wait this section to be filled with creepy beyond my expectations.

I love this doll; I’d buy it if I could afford the hefty pricetag. When my kid asks me about the where babies come from, I can just whip her out.

. . . Although I do want grandkids someday. Maybe I should stick with the youtube videos.

I do admire the artist’s effort and passion.
