Missing Moo
My Little Tykes mooing cow flashlight has ceased both mooing and lighting. I've changed the batteries and triple-checked to make sure they're in right. This troubles me.
See, I originally bought the flashlight because I was chaperoning a group of 5th grade girls to church camp last year and I thought it would be a big hit--and it was. The girls strangely loved being awakened by a cow's moo, and they always giggled about how I would make it moo just as things got quiet. But I brought it to Nashville with me for a safety kind of thing. Now, I realize that a plastic flashlight is of little good in self-defense, but I also told myself that any criminal who broke into my apartment might be a little freaked out by a "moo" coming from my bedroom and leave before he/she took anything. So even though it's mainly for cute purposes, I rationalized keeping it.
I miss the cheerful moo that I would hear when I squeezed the handle. I miss how Mr. Moo's little mouth would open with the moo and how the light would shine from his mouth. Simply put, I miss Mr. Moo.
Any suggestions on how to fix my mooing flashlight??
My mute moo-er. I had to copy the picture from the Little Tykes website because mine no longer moos. *sigh*

That is a sad story.
I would have to look at it.

Mooing flashlights are soooooo underestimated in crime prevention

That reminds me of a small pink pig fan, that would turn on when you pressed the big, black snout. Good memories.
