The Little Man got a wonderful toy for Christmas from his uncle PD. His name is Tad, a Leapfrog product that has been my salvation since we got him. He lives in the Little Man's crib and sings him to sleep every night, and entertains him in the morning until his lazy parents get up and rescue him from crib prison.
This evening, the bedtime routine went along as normal until we heard strange, strange sounds wafting from the Little Man's crib after lights-out. It was the sound of Tad, except posessed. Lullabys sung by Satan. Mr. Me and I raced to the nursery, ready to wrest the Little Man from the strangling pads of Tad-Gone-Chucky. Fortunately, all was well with the sleeping Little Man, and the exorcism was performed quickly courtesy of three new Duracells.
All I have to say is Hey, Leapfrog! Product testing should include what happens to the product when the batteries run out! Stop creeping us poor consumers out.

Here's something scary: Our son has the same Baby Tad frog/doll and it did the EXACT SAME THING last night (Friday). We listened on the baby monitor half giggling, half horrorified as Beethoven's classics were Satanized.
I'm not much into conspiracy theories, but c'mon...
The little angel has an Ocean Wonders aquarium. When the batteries start to go dead IT WON'T TURN OFF. Also slightly Satanic and freaky, except they at least warn you it might happen on the back of the battery cover.
