Cherished Childhood Item

[Remordere]

When you were a small, you might have a toy, a blanket or anything that means a lot to you and you're very attached to. You probably still have yours.

What's yours? Take a pic if you want

Before I was born, my Lola (Grandmother) made me a small pillow for when I was born. They named it "Yapus", for the Ilokano word (my mom and grandma's native language) for "hug". Everynight till today I still slept with and it's also sorta my security item. Whenever I watch scary movies (even games) alone, I hug my Yapus to make me feel better. I have a habit of taking it with me when I'm in the house.

One time I have insomnia for 3 days because I left my Yapus at home. My girlfriend once got mad me, because apparently she's jealous that I love my pillow more that her. -.-

Here's a picture of my Yapus. I made it a new cover from extra fabric on my school uniform skirt ;D

I have to say that your situation is adorable. I have a similar situation with a hampster beanie baby of mine that I bought in Sacramento when I was in 6th grade. I've had it with me ever since and I have it in my bedroom. It's been through difficult times with me and was a source of comfort when I was alone. My bf thinks it's cute so I'm thankful for that. I used to not be able to go to sleep without knowing where he was for a couple of years. I'm not sure why. I would literally spend like 30 minutes searching for him and become really anxious if I couldn't find him. Oh what childhood toys do to a human. lol

It's adorable, n'est-ce pas?

His name is Pelet btw.

Gosh.. all I had was a good stick and an empty tin can to play with as a child. Perhaps that's the root of all my problems now lol.

Wait - you even got to have a can?

Luck-eeeeee.

one of my favorite items is my old gameboy pocket (clear of course) that I bought when I was younger. It was the first thing I Had ever bought with money I earned by myself. I wanted it when they came out so I took my 6 year old self at the time, and asked all my neighbors if there was anything I could help them with. after about a month of this I had saved up enough money to buy my gameboy. 15 years later and it still works and is near perfect ocndition

My childhood item is a rock that i found. I carry it in my pocket everyday As you can see by how smooth it is now. The lines go right through the rock.

That rock is so awesome.

The "My Buddy" doll

That thing was creepy. I think they must have gotten the idea for Chucky from it.

I had an imaginary friend I was quite fond of. I suppose I'll have to post an imaginary picture now.

I was given stocks, bonds, and golf clubs when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I never played with toys. We had staffers to play with each toy and provide written reports at month's end. I think they are still stored somewhere in the Arboretum wing of the place in the Hamptons above the 40 car garage. Or the hanger, perhaps.

I still remember when James broke his leg riding my skateboard. We had to let him go because his monthly reports were always late or blood splattered.

Seriously, I still have my Ken dolls but they want to get married, so back in the walk-in they go until times change.
