Teddy Bears

[Kebmel]

Did you have a teddy when you were a kid?

It's a curious thing to think back all those years to when you were just a nipper and the things you associated with.

I'll man-up and admit I owned a much loved teddy pre-teen age years who I confided in, told all my secrets to and slept with.

I don't know but do kids have teddy bears in this digital age?

No, I was raised by wolves. But they did occasionally let me hug a dead squirrel before we ate it.

Happy times!

Well, a dead squirrel is better than a dead skunk I guess.

When I was young I don't think I ever owned a bear, but I clearly remember I had a big oversized stuffed shar pei dog, I loved that thing, I'm sure it's long gone, I don't think my mom kept a damn thing of mine.... Ive always been a dog person, though...that stuffed animal looked exactly like this...the other one is my real dog :P

No stuffed animals. In fact, the first toy I remember was an electric train at age 6. I don't remember any others till age 10, when I got a slot car set and a truck load of GI Joes and equipment/uniforms for them.

I had a huge Huckleberry Hound that I dearly loved and dragged around for a number of years. Dont remember what happened to it.

I had a ton of stuffed animals when I was a kid. Don't remember any teddy bears, but I'm sure I had one.

I still have mine. My cousin had one exactly like it. My grandparents gave them to us. According to my mom we would get them mixed up and I would smell them and I could tell which one was mine. Weird I know... I hope kids still have Teddy bears. Things like that were comforting as a child. I truly hope kids still need such things. I think I'm gonna go get one for my nephew now.

I had a ton of stuffed animals because my grandmother made them for us. I had a teddy bear I made myself with her help too. I'm sure my mom has them stored somewhere, but I'd rather see my grandparents again than some stuffed animals.

Had a panda i don't remember, left it out on the street, a cheap blue koala, just cheap, and a proper big ted, i called Ted, didn't really relate to them, they didn't do anything. i wonder where they are

[voodoostation]

Had a Pooh bear.

I cannot remember any stuffed animals or toys. I did have a few imaginary friends.

i had a duckie...stuffed body and a molded plastic head

[jimd]

There were two that I remember. The first was a teddy bear. It was small, threadbare and mashed flat as a pancake. My mom still has it somewhere. The other was a dolphin. I remember it because i won it with my grandmother playing a carnival game. She went though a lot of quarters trying to win each grand kid a stuffed animal.

I told all my secrets to Emmett. Still do. This picture is taken from within my office.

My eldest brother had one pronounced Boomphy. He carried it everywhere and eventually my mother washed it and it disintegrated. He screamed and cried for days. I didn't want one after that because he told me that when Teddy Bears get dirty they die. I opted for a Tonka Truck instead.
