re: 84% of men still have a stuffed animal

I guess I’m part of that number, I have 2 vintage dolls from the 80’s...

I almost flipped my shite one day when my kids started throwing it around.


But it’s not like I’m attached to it or anything, lol

It's clear from the responses here that the 84% includes people that have kept their childhood stuffed animals for memories or in hopes of giving them to their children. Nothing wrong with keeping reminders of a happy childhood in the background of your life. The mind works in funny ways... sometimes just subconsciously seeing something from childhood can pick up a person's spirits.


My stuffed animal is ready and waiting for my future child. I hope he/she enjoys it as much as I did.

I have a stuffed Mike the Tiger in my office.

What does it mean "still have"? I have one that was given to me when I was a baby. It's in a box in my closet, but I technically still have a stuffed animal. Of all the things for anyone to 'research' or 'care about', this shouldn't be one.

I call bullshite! Who had stuffed animals? I had GI Joe!
Of course, that was over 40 years ago, when boys were boys. We played outside, in ditches, played kill the man with the ball, had dirt wars w/kids from other neighborhood, etc. Now days... geez

I have a stuffed Kevin Faulk LSU football player in my attic somewhere,

Will never get thrown away.


ETA:

And yes, Kevin Faulk was a motherfricking animal.

I still have the stuffed animal and 'blankie' that I slept with as a child, but they're in a box in a closet and I haven't actually slept with them since I was probably 9.
