OMG-I forgot all about that. My girls are in their teens now but I remember the furby was a must have and they DID talk all the time when it would storm. It was like a bad ET scene--the kids would be asleep in their rooms & a storm would roll in; they'd wake up, not from the lightning, but from the dang things going off and chattering at them. Next thing you know, 2 kids in our bed, zero sleep for the parents!
