I had something which I got rid of once I was old enough to know what it was. I had a golly-wog that my grandmother knitted for me. For those of you that don't know, golly-wog's where a vehicle for a lot of racist humour quite a while ago. I was unaware of such a tendency in my family and when I was about 15 I found out about them, was a little bit unsettled, and subsequently removed it feeling more than a little bit guilty, despite my ignorance of the thing up to that point.
Yet another sad example of how something that was originally meant to bring joy was twisted into a symbol of hate and ignorance by some racist jackass.
yeah that's the thing...i really liked that thing and didn't associate it with that kind of perspective at all until I knew its history. I never even thought of it that way but I just couldn't hang onto it. It made me feel horrible just wanting to keep it.

I used to have a crapload of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I had some nice cards too... then they got thrown into a fire. Not fun at all.

When I was a little youngun' I had a yellow blanket that got mangled in the washing machine one day, but I still dragged it around with me everywhere.

That was, until my dad told me I had to give it up or Santa wouldn't bring me any presents that year. I never knew my parents could be so decietful until it was too late. But all these years later mum still has it. Which is nice. So she is forgiven. For now...

I have a miny plush Kero from the show 'Cardcaptors' that I used to take everywhere. I still have it on my shelf. I used to be obsessed with that show.

I had a blankie. Then my aunt secretly took it from me and got rid of it under orders from my mom. Really messed me up.

I had a plastic golf putter that i took everywhere with me, and no one understands why. though i always mispronounced it when i was telling people about it. fun times.

wasn't as weird as my little sister's cardboard box addiction.

hm...

i used to be fixated on cats at a young age, and had quite a few toys of them. i still have most of them.

the one that i would have to choose if given a choice is a tiger of some kind. i got it when i was 2, and it's stripes faded since long before i can remember, but nonetheless i still like it. i keep it in a special box somewhere, occasionally get it out and look at it.

When I was very young (before I could speak) I wouldn't sleep unless I had Goodnight Moon in my crib. I'm not sure if my parent's still have it though. I do still have a Curious George doll from when I was a baby.
