[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible she took it because at the time you were both adults and she was the only one with kids of the right age to play with it?[/quote]

Why didn't sis mentioned this to OP?  "Hey, I found Ms. Floppy Ears at mom and dad's and thought my kids would love to play with it.  I know she was your old favorite--would you mind if they had it or do you want it back?"[/quote] Probably because Floppy Ears was sitting around in a dusty old box for years and she figured op didn't give a damn or she would have taken it home herself.  Why does everyone on this board assume the worst about everyone else--especially family?[/quote]

+1 If you're using mom and dad's attic for long term storage, presumably it isn't THAT important to you. That said, OP can just ask. Unless what OP has left out of this is that she has a crappy dynamic with her sister.

My sister left plenty of old toys and dolls at my parents. My parents passed them on to me for my kids, as the only family member with kids. My sister knows and doesn't care (she doesn't intend to have kids) but if down the line she had kids and wanted them back, I would gladly hand them over. It seems dumb that perfectly good toys should stay hidden in a closet or something because someone else might one day want them and be too shy to say so. [/quote]
