Dear Child Manufacturers. Thank you for sending me the 3 year old model that has good language skills. Unfortunately its listening and manners functions appear to be faulty and only work occasionally. The good language setting seems to be stuck on either incessant question mode or talks back to me and tells me off in my own words and tone.

 

I'd also like advice on how to adjust the whining mode to the lowest setting possible. If this isn't possible, no replacement or refund is necessary, a simple one way return would be fine.

 

Thank you.

 

Rant over!

I'm kind of kidding... had a trying couple of hours this afternoon.

 

She's generally pretty good. And we definitely pull her up on the whining and manners.

 

Thanks though..

Dear Unhappy Consumer,

 

I appreciate you taking the time to inform us about your experience with your child model. We often find that any difficulties parents have are due to a fault in the original algorithm from which the children are manufactured. If there are serious faults in source code and materials, this can be exacerbated in the maufacturing process. We are sorry you are disappointed.

 

If the above explanation is not to your satisfaction, we are pleased to offer you, free of charge, an exchange. Also due to a fault in the source code, we recently produced (2) identical copies of an child model. They appear to be fully functional despite the glitch that causes them to spontaneously remove all clothing and run around yelling "hiney-butt, hiney-butt" to seemingly no end (I assure you we provided no such code). Perhaps your facilities are better equipped for this behavior. While one model does appear to have a healthy whine mode, she comes equipped with her own whine-stopper in the form of a slap from her partner model. You will find this usually stops the whine. What follows, unfortunately, would be more accurately identified as a shriek.

 

While their language is not fully developed, they seem to have a firm grasp of "no" and "Mary Poppins bye-bye". Should you find this a suitable replacement, please let us know. We will pay all shipping and do not formally require the return of your faulty model.*

 

Thank you for your business.

Yes- I'm only taking 50% responsibility for the DNA. (My H blames me for the bad bits anyway!)

 

I feel a bit bad about writing that now- my daughter is a normal 3.5 yr old, I am so exhausted with the late stages of pregnancy and working that my tolerance levels aren't great.

 

Finishing work next week finally so looking forward to that.
