RIP, Tamagotchi

This evening, I saw this on my Tamagotchi. I am not sure what is happening.

An hour later, I saw this!

I am so sorry. This is my first time playing Tamagotchi. I will do better next time.
Rest in peace, Tamagotchi I! 

Tamagotchi III

It is now a Tamagotchi teenager! 

Tamagotchi II

Since the conversation with Marieann about Tamagotchi, this is the first time I have seen it in the shops! Wow, it is really back in fashion. 
Although it was bought for Marieann in mind (she asked for one), she wanted the bigger version. I didn't know there is a difference. Juliane took over the Tamagotchi which is a keychain version and searched the internet on how to care for the Tamagotchi as the instructions were in Japanese. I happened to buy a Tamagotchi released in 2005! Wow, it is 12 years old.

Marieann suddenly asked if I had ever played Tamagotchi (also spelt as Tamagotch) before. 
Goodness, I haven't heard that word in a long time. Tamagotchi was the craze in the late 1990s. It is a handheld digital pet. I remembered I had to warn my students off from playing Tamagotchi in class or it would be confiscated from them! (Un)Fortunately, my students listened and I didn't have to confiscate any Tamagotchi which also meant I never had the chance to play one. Haha. 
It seems that Tamagotchi is back in fashion again.
