"What The. . ."

Let's say you have a toddler-- a sweet little child for whom you like to knit sweaters.

You love that baby, right?
You want to protect him or her from the scary things in life. . .

. . . the nightmarish things, like, say, blue boogeyman-monsters:

What in the world is that thing?  Why was it brought forth into creation, with its donut eyes and sausage nose?  Is it a stuffed toy or (*shudder*) a costumed person?  Either way, it gives me the creeps-- and because it doesn't appear to be knit or crochet, one has to wonder why it was included in the photo shoot at all. 

. . . Creepy.
