Phoebe and Her Unicorn by Dana Simpson for January 20, 2015

My stuffed rabbit still sits on my bed.

I still tell my stuffed horses (who occasionally push me off the bed) good night every night.

My stuffed panda got incinerated when I was 10. Parents really know how to mess a kid up, and they do all this without training _

To infinity and beyond!

The talking toys are yesterday. Now all our little girls are being warped by a certain Ice princess.

My stuffed horse travels with me everywhere.

Fifty years old and I still have a teddy bear. And my wife and I have a WALL of stuffies.

Hollow Doll, you lied again…

Its called an Heirloom.

Pixar: making everyone feel sorry for inanimate objects since 1995.

I suddenly wonder what ever became of that worn out stuffed blue dog I slept with as a kid. Probably just faded away. I wonder if my little brother still has his stuffed pink bunny rabbit?

I haven’t played with my raccoon girl doll in eons and thought she was long gone until I recently visited my mom and saw it sitting on the couch. Even though I loved it, it kind of freaked me out seeing it sitting there, waiting. My daughter likes it, so it came back home with me. Still freaks me out.

Says the talking unicorn.

That beret is just precious on Phoebe, especially with pigtails.

If Phoebe got messed up on the movie I hope she never hears “Puff the Magic Dragon”, or reads “The Velveteen Rabbit.”

Anyone remember this:“My name is talking Tina. And you’d better be nice to me.”.From an episode of Twilight Zone. Telly Savalas was in that one – and he had hair!

That third panel was just sweet. I wish I still had some of my old toys…the only one I do have is the 4-inch Darth Vader action figure with the 2-piece removable helmet.

then Marigold says “Its ok you got a friend in me”

I see now.

my stuffed dog sits near the bed, and will to the end of my days . . .

SOMEbody needs to watch Spike Jonze’s IKEA commercial. (It’s on YouTube.)

I got back my old GI Joe from when I was a kid. I really was thrilled to have him back after all those years.I tried playing with him like old times, but it just wasn’t the same.
