A Happy Meal tale


This is a true story.

I bought Olivia a Happy Meal tonight at McDonald's. And, I kept the toy for myself. I told her that they forgot to give her a toy. [Look, it's a minor white lie that won't have a negative impact on her in the future. It's not as if I told her Santa Claus wasn't real.]

This is why I did what I did.

The toy was Bloo from "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends" (on Cartoon Network). It's a very funny cartoon. I started watching it after my very dear friend Cindy got married in 2005. Why is this, you ask? Because Keith Ferguson, a friend of Cindy's hubby [Andrew] does the voice for Bloo - and Kevin and I met him during the wedding festivities (I was a bridesmaid and Keith was a groomsman).

So, in a nut shell....I met this person who is a voice actor in Hollywood and now he's a McDonald's Happy Meal toy. So, I took the toy from my kid.

Yep, I'm mother of the year.

  1. Wow! Foster's is a really funny show! Bloo is one of the main characters. Did your friend sound like Bloo or is that a made up voice??
