i don't remember having a must-have snuggly item as a child. so, let me tell you what items i do remember.
i had a stuffed pig named petunia. she was taller than i was, and i was probably 3. my mom and sister used to tell me they were cooking her for dinner.
i had a teddy bear that i must have snuggled with quite a bit considering how much love he shows. when i was 5 he was named tim. when i was 10 he was named kevin. my guess is he had a name before i was 5, but i don't remember that.
i don't remember having a bedtime penguin pal. but if i had one, i'm sure his name was hugsie.

So THAT'S what happened to you.
Related story: We were visiting my brother's church on Sonday, and during their fellowship breakfast (yes, they have a whole continental breakfast before Sonday school-- my kind of place!), we were talking to a guy and two kids (i wasn't clear on whether the kids were his). He said that he knew a girl who, up until high school, thought pork chops were teddy bear-- that's what her parents had told her, every single time she asked. So i imagine she was sort of messed up. One of the kids at the table said, "Can you imagine going into a restaurant and asking for teddy bear?!"
So that's on the list of ways we'll screw up our children.
