| Precious object as a child? Did anyone have a "precious" object as a child? Like a stuffed animal, a specific article of clothing, a certain toy, or a tape/video?
I had a Care Bear (Tendeheart Bear) that I would never let go of, and I could never be able to go asleep without listening to my Mini-n-Me sing-along tape. |

| I had this blanket. My great grandma had made it for me before I was born. It was pink, and was really a beautiful quilt that I used to lay on as an infant. I drooled on it so much, and I'm sure I had accidents on it as a kid, that it smelled bad and had stain marks. My parents started calling it the stinky, and wanted to throw it away when I was 5 or 6 years old. My sister then was about 2 years old, and I thought I would give it to her, so that my parents wouldn't throw it away. Well, then my sister got attached to it. She started to sleep with it for years. I think it was finally throw on when my sister was about 8 or so.
Great. Now I'm sad 'cause my blanket's gone, and I'm missing my great grandma. THanks a lot!

| I remember my brother had a beach towel that he used as a cape. I think my mom still has it because we have some many pictures of him as a kid with this towel around his neck. |

| I had a babydoll that I carried around, her name was Baby Erica, and even when I didn't have her with me I still pretended I did (or so my parents say), like I guess one time they said we were at the grocery store, and I didn't have her but I acted like I did, told my dad that I dropped her out of the cart, so he had to pretend to pick up this doll, and people were giving him wierd looks  |

| When my sister was born, My mom didn't want me to feel left out at all the attention she was getting, So she bought me a baby doll and told me that it was my very own baby she brought home from the hospital and it was my responsibility to take care of her. I named her " Baby Sara ", Which is my sisters name. I still do have the doll till this day.

| I had a doll that I named "Baby Bobby" that my mom got for me as an infant before she passed away. I wouldn't sleep, eat or go anywhere without it. I still have it to this day although it needs some maintenance like restitching of the shit along the top of his head and needs to be cleaned. |

| I used to play in the dirt with sticks and water.
The sticks broke and the water dried up. I'm not left with nothing. |

| I had a stingray egg that I liked to carry around. It stank like hell, my mom threw it away, just like my pet man-o-war. I had a pet pulmonated fish that liked to walk around the livingroom on hot days. He disappeared, my grandpa's dog ate it or it just runned away! (QUITE POSSIBLE, Believe me.) I had this really small airplane. It got shafted (in the elevator shaft.) I still have a ton of childhood stuff (Some the weirdest things ever, like the broken blade of a Boing turbine, etc... ) in a box under my bed.  they all mean a lot to me, like my skeleton warrior figures.
There is one really meaningful. It's this stuffed Orca Wale that my uncle got it to me when I was what? 2? I still have it. |

| My G.I Joe collection and Hot Wheels collection were my prized possessions as a child. I still collect hot wheels, 27 years worth so far and the gi joes went to my neighbors kid( every single 5" tall gi joe and accessory ever made I had including that 7' long aircraft carrier from the mid 80's) |

| I was never strongly attatched to any one particular thing for very long, but my GI Joes, Ninja Turtles, and Ghostbusters toys were definately the coolest/most fun back when I was younger. |
