Im not that old, but I do wonder at what point, if ever, is it sad to find toys/stuff designed for young people fun?
I dont like hunting and meat smokers. Or sports. Im into classic consoles and rc cars and Legos. Sometimes I feel like people have kids just so they can try to relive their own kid days. But I do that on a daily basis. Im surrounded by “kid” stuff, right down to 90s vhs cartoons and a Bop it.
My co workers would think its very odd that I spent the weekend playing atari and building legos. I guess I did put up some wood paneling too. But most other people were probably trucking their kids to sports practice and smoking a hog.
Almost 1/2 century old and I still have stuffed animals my mom gave me as a kid in the hospital and a few others for my birthday.
If she didn’t get rid of my old millennium falcon and other starwars toys i would still have them.
You like what you like and you keep what means something to you. Fuck what anyone else thinks!
I have stuffies too! I have a glowworm i got as a baby, and i have a lion who i’ve had for many years. No shame in having stuffies if they bring you joy. Fuck what other people think.
I remember the glowworms, my sister had one. We both had cabbage patch kids. I hate that I didnt keep my garbage pale kid cards. At least I still have an almost full set of 1991 Marvel cards. One of my best friends gave me a gold plated Gen 13 card i have kicking around somewhere.
I’d really love to see your stuffed animals. <3
Mom gave me these on Valentine’s day so long ago they are fading in color.
My stuffed animals are in storage ATM but I hope this will brighten the moment in their stead!
