There was time in the not too distant past that the only reminder a woman needed of her pregnancy was to simply take a look at the sullen, moody, angst ridden teenage alien that was masquerading as her child. She would sigh, take a Vallium and then go through the baby clothes, baby pictures and maybe hug the first teddy bear she ever gave her child.
That was THEN.
Now, thanks to movies like "Silence of the Lambs" and Modern Science, the Modern Mother can have a truly one of a kind rememberance of her pregnancy. All it takes is some salt, a couple of eggs, a little ability as a seamstress and...a placenta. Yes, now you finally have a use for all that unexpected afterbirth that gets delivered along with the expected bundle of joy. Some of the more adventurous mothers have been known to (I swear I am NOT making this up) cook and EAT the aforementioned placenta. If you aren't feeling quite so adventurous, you can have your placenta cured, tanned and crafted into a Teddy Bear. It will also be placed in a jar to show on your shelf. A definite conversation piece if there ever was one.
One of the comments on the website this is from summed this idea up nicely: "It's like Hannibal Lecter and FAO Schwartz teamed up to design a toy!"
So what do YOU think? Would YOU want an "Afterbirth Teddy Bear"? Would you want your parents to have one of these on their fireplace mantle?
