ugly doll

By ck

I am desperately seeking this ugly doll.

I should have given her away when ONE received her two Christmases ago and tossed her on the floor.

My life would be so much easier right now…

But no.

I kept her.

And now I spend my afternoons doing things in 2-minute increments. Glancing back-and-forth between the egg timer, who has Ugly Doll and who is screaming until the 2 minutes are up and it’s her turn again.

I’ve taken Ugly Doll away and refused to give her back for several days. Ugly Doll has even gotten a time-out in the fridge for ruining lunch.

I’m done.

I’ve had enough.

I don’t even care that as soon as I buy another Ugly Doll they’ll both lose interest.

But I can’t even do that.

Because the damn thing is discontinued.

So I reached out on Craigslist.

Have you seen this ugly face?

Perhaps hidden in the bottom of a toy box or under some stuffed animals in the back of a closet? Maybe out in the garage?

If you’ve got one of these triflin’ dolls in your home, I’m guessing your child is done with it.

Or never liked it to begin with.

I mean, it doesn’t really do anything.

You can’t cuddle it without getting poked by its pointy fingers.

The pilly sleeves barely cover its ¾ stuffed and ¼ plastic arm.

The hard pacifier doesn’t actually go into the doll’s mouth, it just kind of hovers over the lips.

The eyes don’t open or shut at the same time.

It’s just a mess.

A pink, “You & Me” mess.

So you really ought to get rid of it.

Or better yet, sell it.

For five bucks.

To me.

Please.

    I say ditch Ugly Doll surreptitiously in a dumpster (preferably on a foggy night) and, when asked, deny all knowledge. “Why, just look at these building blocks/puzzles/two dolls of exact type!” Solomon-like.
    Cause you know that when some kind internet person finds you one, you’ll still have the same problem- “I want the NEW Ugly Doll!”

    Wow! I didn’t really think there was a real doll named “Ugly Doll”! I just got done reading a book by Jennifer Weiner, “Goodnight Nobody” and the woman’s daughter had a “Ugly Doll” and that there are different chapters with different outfits?? Is this all true??? I thought it was just a story…. Weird!!

  3. tina Says:

    Thankfully for my sake, I DO NOT have this Doll and I HOPE and PRAY I NEVER do! Yikes.

    Sorry, I hope you find this lovely treasure.

    I’m afraid Evenshine is right; you may have a new problem on your hands. But the other problem is ditching it. You should see my teddy bear, so loved, so roughed, so balding. But I would (and still will) cry for a week if I had lost it. Maybe you should take them to pick out the new dolls.
    P.S. Don’t you love sibling rivalry? We fight over trains. Because they’re all different.

    I’m with Evenshine, you just dump it and deny deny deny! Cause really how long before she asked for a new type of ugly doll? and forget all about this one!

    Well good luck and I really hope it works out for you and the doll.

  7. KathyB! Says:

    I’m voting with Evenshine, too…. get rid of it. If you want to be just plain cruel, then you can also throw in a lecture on responsibility and taking care of their toys. But that *really* would be mean…

  8. Tatiana Says:

    Why does such an ugly doll even exist?

  9. outside voice Says:

    It the brand Ugly Doll or is it another kind of baby doll extravaganza?

    In any case, your craigslist post is HILARIOUS.

    I vote to ditch it, too! Signed, Meanie Mommy :)
