Drowning Moses
Aug. 7th, 2014 02:04 pmI didn't remember this until a friend and I were talking about baby names today. He asked what I thought of "Miles".
I had a baby doll named Miles when I was a kid. I don't know why all my baby dolls were boys, but they were.
Then I also remembered that my other baby doll was named Moses.
Moses was a small doll with a yellow fleece outfit my mom sewed for him. He was like the Grumpy Cat of baby dolls; his face had this perpetually irritated expression and his little plastic hands were molded into fists.
I used to pretend that Moses was BibleMoses as a baby, and float/drown him in various bodies of water (shower, sink, pond...). Drowned because a basket of bullrushes is hard to construct, yo, and I was no Miriam. Heck, most of the time I didn't even try for a basket and Moses was BAD at floating. Baby doll Moses drowned A LOT. I didn't even pretend it was otherwise. Kid-me was all: Whelp, baby Moses drowned AGAIN. Poor baby Moses. I guess that didn't work out.
Maybe my parents shouldn't have let me watch The Ten Commandments when I was like 4 or 5.
