"God I'm glad to be rid of that Furby." Clarice flopped back on the sofa. Hannibal grinned and wrapped one arm round her. They had just finished clearing away any evidence of the robot's corpse. It had taken them around two hours because of the wires that were stuck to the microwave door. Clarice turned the TV on and after just five minutes the doorbell rang. Hannibal groaned and answered it. He came back a minute later with a small buggy.

"What the hell?" Clarice stared at him.

"You know our neighbours, the Waldo's?"

"Yeah."

"They've asked us to baby-sit."

"Hannibal, they don't have kids."

"Not real ones yet anyway." He held up a plastic doll. "They bought this to practice parenting."

"Oh. My. God." Clarice rolled her eyes.

"I know, but they're paying us."

Clarice sat up. "How much?"

"Ten dollars an hour."

"Bloody hell."

At that moment the doll gave a wail. Hannibal picked up the bottle and shoved it in its mouth. At first he thought the whole thing was amusing but eventually it came to a stage when the doll screamed, "Me want go pee-pee!"

"Use the toilet then." Hannibal muttered. Clarice spluttered.

"Take me." The doll, whose name was "Baby wee-wee" demanded.

"No way that's pervy." Clarice replied.

"Take me NOW!"

"It's upstairs on the right." Hannibal informed the toy. It waddled over to him and said in a menacing voice.

"You don't take me, I go pee on you."

"Get lost."

"You asked for it." Hannibal ducked out of the way dragging Clarice with him. The doll wet himself and laughed.

"Dirty little git. I've got a place for you." Clarice grabbed him by his hair and took him to the kitchen. Hannibal caught on and opened the washer door, "In here Clarice? Or," He opened the oven door, "In here?"

"Let's burn the bugger, stuff the pay." She threw the thing in the oven and slammed the door. Hannibal set it on high temperature and they sat down to watch. The doll screamed and shouted profanities. Then there was silence. Clarice leaned forward to see what had happened.

BOOOOOOOOOOM! The dolls head exploded.

Hannibal buried the bits in the Waldo's back yard. They moved to a house in Britain the next week.
