This is Bobby. He's an alien. A gave him to me today :) The button is his eye so he can see. The pipe cleaners are his tentacles and if they fall off, he dies. Bobby copies everything you say to him but in a deeper voice. This makes it very difficult to have a conversation with him! (or A for that matter... :p)
Thank you for your thoughts yesterday, my friend is now out of hospital :) Although he may still need surgery.
