I don't think it's weird that I "do voices" for her stuffed animals in order to amuse my wife.

[arbusto_baboso]

What IS weird is that I've imbued all the stuffed animals with distinct personalities and some of them are verbally abusive towards me.

I mean, I'm getting dissed by a stuffed dog who is essentially ME!

[LostinVA]

1. Confession -- I've done that with the pets

[arbusto_baboso]

2. So, I'm not the only one bringin' this kind of crazy?

That's actually kind of a relief.

[LostinVA]

4. One of my old landlords did that, too

He was about 30, and he did it to tease his wife.

[applegrove]

16. I always talk to my pets with a funny voice. I'm sure I would be horrified if I ever heard

myself.

[LostinVA]

17. Even Haruka does it sometimes now!

One kitty has a West Virginia accent, one kitty has a very WASPY one, and the two dogs have high-pitched voices, with the female's a bit higher.

I'll shut up now!!!

[arbusto_baboso]

18. Oddly enough, the verbally abuse stuffed dog sounds exactly like my grandfather.

I don't know what that says about my family and its effect on me as an adult, but I'm pretty sure it's not good.

[LostinVA]

Sometimes the animals say mean things to me

And, of course, I'm the one talking.

[arbusto_baboso]

22. I think we all just have overactive imaginations.

I wasn't doing this when I was writing fiction. Maybe it's my creative side demanding an outlet?

[LostinVA]

29. Possibly -- and, it's fun!

[arbusto_baboso]

30. True. I didn't say I was goinna *stop*, after all!

[applegrove]

19. My cats seem to like it. At least they know when they are being addressed.

[LostinVA]

20. The older dog comes running when I talk like the WV kitty

He likes to try and chase her.

[Captain Hilts]

24. Even Churchill talked 'kitty-talk' to his cat, Nelson. nt

[JitterbugPerfume]

3. Nope! that aint weird at all

:hide:

[Dogtown]

5. I do "turtle"

"nazi-soldier", "side-to-side slap", and "pastie-twirl" for my Esso.

voice-overs depend on my mood.

[Deep13]

6. I pretty much do that without any props.

:shrug:

[Fleshdancer]

7. Stuffed animals should never be verbally abusive

Tell your inner voice to be nicer to you from now on. Maybe you could set up an intervention for the stuffed dog? The other stuffed animals can tell it to be nicer. :D

[arbusto_baboso]

8. Yes, and Lamb Chop will lead the way on that one.

Wishbone is just such a troublemaker, anyway. Always demanding bacon. It gets old.

[Fleshdancer]

10. Wishbone needs a few boundaries

Does your wife spoil her stuffed animals? That might be part of the problem.

[arbusto_baboso]

13. Actually she does.

They're her "substitute children" and she treats them accordingly.

[Fleshdancer]

14. Hmmm...maybe the stuffed animals should set up an intervention for your wife

:rofl:

[arbusto_baboso]

15. Or maybe we're both nuts and have just found one another to share our delusions.

I guess there's someone for everyone.

Although, I have to admit that our female roommate (who is English) once set up our stuffed animals in a bondage S&M scenario. I didn't know the little devils were that kinky!

[Patiod]

9. My SO gives the cat a voice, and she's somewhat hostile to me

I was laying on my back, holding her in the air, and said "what do you think she's thinking"

And he replied, in a falsetto voice "Put me down and feed me, you nattering ninny."

Since then the "cat" has expressed a wide range of negative opinions, mostly defending him and pointing out how little I appreciate him - it's amazing that an animal that seems so aloof could be so perceptive, and could side so consistantly with my SO's point of view....

[Richard Steele]

11. Sounds pretty normal to me.

I wouldn't worry about it, at least until
the stuffed dog starts dissing you
when your wife isn't around to hear it.

[arbusto_baboso]

12. Uh oh.

:scared:

[Richard Steele]

21. Ooooohhh...alrighty, then.

Good luck with that. :hide:

[Captain Hilts]

23. So what? My highly intelligent stuffed animals with distinct personalities are smarter than most

humans.

They travel around the world - without me - with friends, etc.

Life's too short to go through it with just one personality. Enjoy!

[arbusto_baboso]

25. Well, it IS rather cathartic....

I mean, I get to say things "as the animals" that I'd never say myself.

[Captain Hilts]

27. It helps me take a different view on things. Step outside myself a bit.

It's really helpful, at times.

I guess many people have kids to serve this purpose.

[arbusto_baboso]

28. And the abusive dog insists he is just "male bonding" with me and really loves me.

So, I guess it's just a "guy thing".

[Captain Hilts]

34. Sneaky bastard, that dog! nt

[guitar man]

26. I know what you mean

Hey, I have a 3 year old daughter so I know all about stuffed animal theatre and the all doll review off Broadway. I think I'm gonna need counseling for the abuse I've taken from them. :scared:

[fizzgig]

31. not weird

my fiance and i do that with our cats and they usually call us idiot hairless apes
