I think most people have stuffed toys. After all, most children have stuffed toys, and what's one supposed to do when one grows up - just throw them away or give them to Goodwill? Some, yeah, but not the ones that are Real - I doubt there are many people in the world with hearts that stony.
I still love my Real ones as much as ever, and I'll be kind of sad when the time comes (soon) to pack 'em away safely until such time as I have a grandchild. I'm still attached to my kid's father's Mister Mousie, and surreptitiously hug him a little sometimes when I'm over there picking the girl up. LOL, yeah, big tough guy that he is, with all his air of don't-mess-with-me and his manly pursuits, he's got this cute little pink mouse... because even big tough guys were once children.
