I was sick on him, so it had to happen, but Bear Bear doesn't like water (plus, he may fall apart).</p> <p>Seriously though, Bear Bear travels with me everywhere because he's my pillow. Yes, it's weird, but I love Bear Bear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26301 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:53:25 +0000 tequiero21 26301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol had TONS of stuffed animals, but they were just collecting on my wall shelf. never played with them, talked to them, or had them talk back. </p> <p>i wonder if boys had more imaginations then girls? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26284 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:36:50 +0000 StbHisMrs 26284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember naming them but I had a ton of stuffed animals, my Mom kept them all and I've passed "most" of them on to my son. Now they're in a bag in our garage. My most favorite was a pink teddy bear, I don't think my Mom gave that one back to me. Gosh these threads are making me feel like a hoarder. I still have all my 80's tastic toys and all my stuffed animals, I wouldn't be surprised if I found a box with my Strawberry Shortcake sheets in it LOL!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26109 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:54:12 +0000 mrsjyw 26109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a couple, I used to play house with them and make my little brother use different voices for them and I would voice my barbie dolls. </p> <p>DH was an only child and he said that he did that a lot when he was young. They were his siblings/friends :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26107 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:51:16 +0000 Rescuemom10 26107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a brown dog I named Carlmelcorn. Weird but yeah. He went everywhere with me. I had a lot of stuffed animals but he was my favorite. Next I would say would be my Puppy Surprise! : D<br /> I remember getting my Puppy Surprise, it was a HUGE deal because all my cousins and friend had one and I wanted one so bad and after getting birthday money my dad took me to go get one. I spent FOREVER in the store looking at them all through the box to see which one was the "fatest" because you got either 3-4-5 puppies and I was going for five. I so wanted mine to have five. All my time debating and comparing worked. My puppy had five and I didnt know anyone else who had 5 puppies in theirs. I was so "proud" of my puppy surprise. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26097 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:43:32 +0000 Navy_Mommy 26097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a stuffed animal addict. I had a stuffed rabbit (her name was Hoppity) that I spent LOTS of time with. She even went with me when I had to have surgery when I was 4 (I had an umbilical hernia repair) and the children's hospital in Boston gave her a hospital bracelet!</p> <p>For my 5th birth I got an Abu stuffed animal (from Alladin) that I carried around so much that his arms and legs started falling off and I would put on my Mom's stethoscope to play doctor and sew it back on.</p> <p>And I had a TON of other stuffed animals. My love for stuffed animals lasted WELL into elementary school (which I'm not sure is "normal") and in the 4th grade my mother and I went up to Vermont to go skiing and stayed at the Hugging Bear Inn (<a href="http://www.huggingbear.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.huggingbear.com/</a>) which was like heaven to me. They have a stuffed animal shop and the whole bed and breakfast is just covered in teddy bears. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26094 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:37:06 +0000 Navy_Mommy 26094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Wondermommy: POUND PUPPIES! I would tie shoe laces to their collars and bring them on walks in my back yard, hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-26091 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:32:05 +0000 ALittleP 26091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a stuffed dog named "Doggie" - how original, right?! I actually still have him. He "lives" in a box in our closet. I took him everywhere with me and I definitely talked to him but he didn't talk back to me... :(</p> <p>I actually hope that our future kid(s) will have a favorite stuffed animal like I did!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25931 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 09:01:22 +0000 kayakgirl73 25931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did and I talked to them. My dad even had a voice for a dog puppet we had. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25918 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:16:21 +0000 Maysprout 25918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, we had long talks, my bff was a teddy bear too. I still remember when they stopped talking back, it was really weird to hear the silence, I felt like my magical powers had gone away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25903 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:08:10 +0000 tejbee 25903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love it, Mrbee, how cute. :)</p> <p>Yes, I had stuffed animals. I'm sure I talked to them but I don't remember specifics other than the fact that any doll I had would be named Rose, Rosa or Rosie. I also had a little stuffed white seal that was named Sloppy-Sloppy and a squeaky pig that was my favorite until I lost it and have been devastated ever since... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25899 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 06:00:06 +0000 mynoahbear 25899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a stuffed elephant named Packy. I used to talk to him all the time. I even made Christmas lists to Santa on behalf of Packy. I think my mom might still have him packed away somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25869 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:35:44 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 25869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a bunny named Floppy that I slept with and talked to. She is the only stuffed animal that I kept. I actually have her put away to pass down to my kids one day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25865 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:24:04 +0000 BoogieBea 25865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband actually passed on his long time stuffed animal, a fat cat named mongo, to our son. Mongo definitely "speaks" to us. He also has a one eyed polar bear named rocky bear who likes to eat buffalo wings. he said when he picked up rocky bear at the store, he purposedly picked the one with the missing eye because he figured no one else would want to buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25849 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 00:01:24 +0000 Wondermommy 25849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had Pound Puppies and Pound Purries, and most definitely carried on conversations with them. They meowed or barked back, accordingly. After that, I had a Figment from Disneyworld, but he was more like my lovey, didn't really have convos with him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25847 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:59:35 +0000 Rosie Girl 25847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHAHAHA! That cracks me up!!!!! </p> <p>Yes, I did have a stuffed animal. 3 main ones actually. But my favorite was "Lamby" my lamb (I was original huh). I talked to Lamby all the time and we did everything together. And yes, Lamby talked back. My mom would even have Lamby talk to me to get me to wake up. She did the best Lamby voice :) </p> <p>And now confession time. I still have all 3 stuffed animals. In my closet. And sometimes DS goes in there and gets them (he seems to prefer Lamby too), and I have slight panic attack that something might happen to Lamby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-stuffed-animals-growing-up-did-you-talk-to-them#post-25844 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:54:34 +0000 mrbee 25844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a teddy bear that was my best friend growing up, and I talked to him every single day. He had a personality and a voice and everything. I would create elaborate scenarios and we'd live them out together. </p> <p>Actually it was exactly like Calvin and Hobbes, except he was a bear instead of a tiger. And my scenarios weren't quite as elaborate as Calvin's and involved conversations more than adventures. It pains me to say this, but maybe I was less like Calvin and Hobbes, and more like Susie Derkins having tea parties with her stuffed animals:</p> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_characters_in_Calvin_and_Hobbes#Susie_Derkins" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_characters_in_Calvin_and_Hobbes#Susie_Derkins</a></p> <p>Did you have stuffed animals growing up? Do you remember talking to them... and (be honest), did they talk back? </p>
