Little kid me simultaneously adored and detested her stuffed animals. She loved them so much that every night she would crowd in to bed with all fifty of them so that they’d be safe from the alligators under the bed. But this created tension in her relationship with the stuffed animals because she often had no room in bed for herself, and she began also to resent them. And she dreaded holidays like Christmas and Easter when under the tree and in the Easter basket would be a brand new stuffed animal for her to take care of. As she got older the animals began to migrate, several at a time, in to the attic, until they were all gone. And big kid me often avoids looking in to the giant box of stuffed animals in the attic, for fear of an overwhelming sense of guilt.
