I have siblings that are 13 and 15 years younger than me. I got my first
kidney transplant when I was a senior in high school. I was home recovering
and took over my little brother's room, and the first night I was home about
2 in the morning his talking buz lightyear started saying buzz Light Year to
the rescue, and his arm moved which then bumped the toy fire truck on the
shelf next to it which started a sirine and lights. Talk about being
completely freaked out! Now in my new house in MI the heater grates are in
the floor. I just got one of those fisher price house frames where the kids
can crawl through a door and it has a mail box, and ball drop and stuff
basically a doorway with activities, and the heater blew the door enough
that it said Hello, and open, and something about coming in and learning
with me. I'm just not sure about electronics and my nerves.

We have a Mater right now from Cars and it will talk and roll across the
floor on it's own.  Was sitting up here a couple nights ago when it did it
for the first time, a little strange!!  When my middle son was little he had
a Franklin bus that would just turn on by itself and the engine would start
reving, while it was in his closet, I said, if I take the batteries out and
it does it, then it's gone!!

Sarah has a Tickle Me Elmo that tends to start yelling and giggling all on
its own, usually in the middle of the night.  I'm not sure what sets him
off, but I've been tempted more than once to throw him outside.
