My college freshman brought his two favorite stuffed animals from when he was little to his dorm.
My younger teen has a bedroom full of stuffed animals. *I* still have my beloved teddy bear from when I was little!!! He's venerable, so playing with him is forbidden. |
| I'm 52 and my stuffies line the loveseat in my BR |
Why is it forbidden? Because he's wise and respected? I don't understand. |
| DS 19 still sleeps with his stuffed wolf he's had since he was in preschool. he's kept it in great condition and still cherishes it. |

I made a new friend in college when I saw she had the same stuffed animal. I saw it on her bed when we were chatting at her door and ran down the hall to my room and brought mine back with me to show her. We told our parents about the coincidence and they sent our baby pictures with them. We posed holding our snapshots and our stuffies and took a photo together to send back home.
Funny that this probably took over two months with our parents searching in photo boxes and then us developing the film and using the post office and today all those photos could be exchanged via text in a matter of minutes. |
