I recently had a birthday and couldn't stop to celebrate with the woman who gave birth to me - my mom, Rose Beebe, 88. I hoped that Mom, who has Alzheimer's disability, would be able to tell me my birth story as she always had on my big day. Each year Mom would recall how her sprinkle broke and my brother, Tim, pretended to be sick so he wouldn't have to go to approach because he knew I was on my way. She'd tell me how much my siblings, who were 10, 15 and 20 years older than me, spoiled me and how singular I was to the family. I never got tired of that story. As I entered the living stay at Mom's memory care facility, I found her in her wheelchair holding a swaddled baby doll. She'd been surely obsessed the past few months with babies and pregnancy.

COLONIE, N.Y.—At first shufty, the "Play and Giggle Triplets" look like any other baby doll. But, if you hark to closely, there's one phrase that's raising some eyebrows.

Many people allow the doll is swearing, saying "Ok, crazy b****." The set of triplets is to hand at Toys R Us stores across the country, including the Wolf Means location in Colonie. An Arkansas woman is even suing the toy count on after her child began repeating the phrase.

But, not everyone hears the reachable curse words right away.

"It sounded like balderdash, like baby ‘goo goo' ‘ga ga,'" said Melanie Teliska of East Greenbush.

After winsome multiple listens, some say they would never buy this toy.

"Not that she would understand that at 3, but its antipathetic, a negative connotation," said Teliska. "I wouldn't do it."

Those we spoke to say Toys R Us should standstill selling the dolls immediately.

"To me, Toys R Us should have on it off the shelves," said Teliska. "They sell enough toys at that view that they don't need to sell something that in 2 months or at Christmas in days of yore comes back and haunts them."
