Meet Manny
There was a small doll that was included in the baby carriage that we bought. Sandy named her Manny because she said he looks like Malfoy from Harry Potter. Anyway, the doll was made of cheap materials so I wasn’t surprised when her legs fell off that same day. And an hour after her legs fell, her head followed. I thought Sandy will get scared but she loved it even more (if only her Papa could say the same hehe).

Hello Manny! She’s actually cute – bodiless and freakiness aside.
After the incident, I went inside the room and watched TV while the little girl was left outside the hallway playing. I heard her talking nonstop to someone so I went outside to check. When she saw me, she said, “Mommy, quiet. Manny is sleeping.” Apparently, she was just chatting with Manny before I came out.

And then as if I wasn’t there, she started talking to Manny again in a hushed voice.
“Manny, look at Herbert (her red horse). Don’t be afraid, come on. He’s your friend. Herbert, look at Manny, he has no body. Papa took it away. Kawawa naman Manny.”
It was hilarious. Again, freakiness and bodiless doll aside.
Last night, Manny’s head was on top of our bed. I caught Sandy looking at it sadly, probably feeling bad for him/her again. After a few moments, she whispered to the doll, “Manny, I will buy you body tomorrow okay? And some legs too.”
Okay, I know I should probably teach her that she can’t fix things by buying them but what the heck. Let her do what she wants.
