Oh GC, you'd be surprised to know that I still sleep with my childhood stuffed animal every night. (embarrassing, I know.)

I still have my "blankie" and sleep with it.

I actually know a lot of people my age still with that situation (blankie, stuffed animal, etc from childhood). I honestly am claiming to it be a generational thing.

^^^Like.

I have an amateur radio license. Got it when I did hikes and backpacks in CO and here in AZ. No cell service where we went (still isn't any). People literally stare gape-jawed when they learn those facts (I've backpacked, and I'm a ham).

I love the "just in case" idea. Sadly mine is one of those kind of thermal (like long johns?) sort of blankets and it is already cut in half b/c when I was younger I buried half with a dog of mine that died & it used to be yellow...now its kind of...cream colored? really faded with some holes... but I don't think they make them like that anymore. Plus I left it at a hotel once when I was little and my parents tried to buy me a different one and I noticed. I don't know if it could be replaced if lost

My siblings and I all had different items, but my youngest brother had his blanket. We always had at least 2 of them and as it was a really basic blue blanket it was replaceable the one time that we left it at home on the way to vacation. My brother would search the blanket for the corner that had come unraveled and suck his thumb. He looked like Linus

I still sleep with stuffed animals but not with my Teddy 1 or Teddy 2 that were my "thing" as a kid.

As a six year old, my picture was in National Geographic in the 1960s.

I still sleep with my Oscar the Grouch that I got as a baby!

I did the same thing until I was in graduate school. My first job out of undergrad was an extremely bad experience and holding on to something comfy helped me fall asleep at night.

(I think I've posted this before but it was many years ago)--I got picked up by the FBI.

You win at crowns.

There was no such thing as a 2x Homecoming Queen at my school because the queen had to be a senior.
