Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
Tell us the story; as much as you can remember. How you felt about the toy/animal, do you still have it/what happened to it/or if you gave it away.

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
A stuffed bunny. I still have it, even though it had to undergo plastic surgery because of wear and tear.

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
It does not really have a name. It is just called "bunny" in Frisian.

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
My sister bought me a doll called Shabby O'Hara. It is an Irish boy and it seems that I remember she bought him in Ireland but not sure anymore. I didn't play with him much but I liked him because he was Irish and my sister gave him to me. I still have him.

He has a 4 leaf clover stamped on his butt with his name in the middle of it. He has curly red hair and wears a green pair of overalls. Very cute.

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
I had a teddy bear I was really crazy about, and it was so worn out it barely had any fur left. It didn't have a real name, just bear in Frisian (never knew you were Frisian as well Vautrin), and my mom lost it when we moved to a new house. I have regretted losing it for years, and frankly still think it's a shame up untill this day.
When I was a teenager I bought pooky (garfields teddybear) to replace it, and for some reason it was really popular with all the girls

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
I had a mouse that would suck it's thumb on one hand, and on the other hand it could suck it's finger. I used to carry it with me everywhere, and we'd suck our thumbs together. It was a boy. Never had a name, but I do still have him 21 years later.

Re: Your Favourite Childhood Toy or Stuffed Animal
Haha, I had all the toys....GI Joe, Transformers, Thunder Cats, He-man, but my favorite was Voltron - when it was assembled it was the greatest thing ever.
Apparently I use to have it on my night table, and one time my mom came in to tuck me in good night. It was standing up and she went to move it - I told her not too cause it protected me at night. I never had nightmares or anything like that either. I miss that thing.

Now, if it would protect you from hangovers ...  ,
I'd steal it from you
