Both cute and sad.

Being childless, I don't always know what "kids these days" are like or going through.

But when a friend's son was 12 and going to a charter school; his class had one of those sessions where it was safe to share foibles about growing up. He and a number of other kids admitted that they still sometimes slept with their plushie. I thought that was truly sweet! I gave up my teddy bear when I was seven. Now I wonder why I did.

I'm happy to say that his family has merely typical problems, not awful ones such as Loewy's.

Lowey is a Leafy Sea Dragon morph, right? I used to make up stories about the plush animals I used to have too. Out of dozens, now only six survive.

Growing up can be tough.

Poor little fella! Hope no ones gives him a hard time for carrying a plushie at his age.
