I'm sure you're all wonder, what on earth is a 13 year old doing writing about some weird product? Well, you wonderers, that is because I in fact own a pillow pet. That's right, you read me. I have a moose, just like the one right there.
Why do I have a pillow pet? They looked fun a fluffy and big and cozy, and what girl doesn't love big ploofy stuffed animals? Honestly. For all you men raising your eyebrows right about now, you should know very well by now that girls are obsessed with stuffed animals from age 3 or 4 to whenever they get married. After the normal grown up stage, after about age 60, it slowly starts coming back, and when we're in the nursing home, we have a wonderful collection of stuffed animals so it feels like we have company. When the obsession is at rest during the grown up stage, that's the stage when we take care of kids and get them started with the obsession.
Get it?
So I received one of these beautiful Pillow Pets for Christmas this year. I'm going to be totally honest, it's a little hard to find out how to sleep with it. I don't use it as a head pillow, just as a snuggle pillow. When I lay it flat like a pillow, it doesn't really work, because my arm slides everywhere and can't get a firm yet snug grip on it. When I fold it into a real moose, either the velcro will come undone, or I can't fit it on top of the covers. (You see, I usually sleep with the arm facing the ceiling outside the covers, not under. So whatever stuffed animal I have has to go on top of the sheets, making it more of a hassle.)
Bottom line, great for reading corners and all-nighters, but not exactly the best pal to be sleeping with. Almost too big. But I still love my moose; thanks mom. ;)
And no, I don't have an entire Pillow Pet family like some of my friends; I have just one. You've heard the commercials, and if not, here goes: It's a pillow, it's a pet, its a Pillow Pet! :D
