Warning: The following story contains a word that some people may find offensive. When Lynn Schable bought the “You & Me Interactive Triplet Dolls” from Toys R Us earlier this week as a Christmas present for her triplet granddaughters, she was excited. The infant dolls looked cute and harmless. Dressed in different color onesies, each equipped with a milk bottle, they looked like a lot of fun for a trio of 2 1/2 year old girls. But the girls won’t be getting those dolls for Christmas. Schable says one of the dolls — the one in the pink onesie — says “ bitch” in the midst of a stream of gobbledygook. Other customers on the Internet have also said the doll appears to say “crazy bitch”/Patrick Orr, Idaho Statesman. More here. (Toys R Us photo, of You & Me Interactive Triplet Dolls)

Question: Which doll was your favorite childhood one?
