I totally loved my Tamagotchi though and I looked after it for months before I ended up losing the poor thing. One time I had brought it to school with me and forgot it in my locker, and cried through the whole evening because I was so scared that it would die without me there to look after it.
Your description of how you felt about your Tamagotchi made me laugh because I did the same thing! I was visiting my grandma as a kid and stayed there, forgot my Tamagotchi when I went home and didn't get to pick it up until a couple of days later!
That feeling of sheer panic thinking "who is going to feed it and clean up its' poop?!" made me feel like the worst electronic pet owner ever!
I guess it shows that it was teaching us some level of responsibility, right?
