This year’s most hottest toy, Hatchimals, Swear in their sleep
(CNN/Money): This year’s most popular toy, called Hatchimals, is getting a lot of attention from parents lately. It seems that the cute toy is teaching kids something other then how to play – it also teaching them how to swear.

The news follows numerous complaints that Hatchimals are failing to hatch. Hatchimals, which sold out in stores in the weeks leading up to Christmas, live in a plastic egg and “hatch” into interactive creatures that respond to touch. The toys make unintelligible noises and can repeat words or phrases that humans teach them.
As of now, there aren’t any restrictions as to what the Hatchimals can repeat.
But the series of videos popping up online are similar, and parents claim the “f**k me” line — only uttered when the creature is sleeping — wasn’t taught by their children. Some commenters believe the Hatchimals are saying “hug me” instead. Judge for yourself:
“Hatchimals communicate by speaking their own unique language, which is made of up of random sounds, and by making other noises, including shivering when they’re cold and snoring while they sleep,” a spokeswoman for Spin Master told CNNMoney in a statement. “We can assure consumers that Hatchimals do not curse, nor do they use foul language.”
