Speaker 1 (00:00):
Do any of you guys sleep with stuffed animals or
any sort of item from your childhood A man and
a dog, Because many people have held all of their
stuffed animals from childhood, and there's a whole article about
this today. Mental health experts say there's nothing wrong with
having a stuffed animal as an adult or using one
(00:20):
to sleep better. In fact, there are a lot of
positives to it. People use it to work through trauma.
I guess they go to build a bear, and they
build one to represent their inner child as a younger
version of themselves, to help heal from trauma, and they
sleep with that. Parents are giving the bears for comfort, connection, compassion, YadA, YadA, YadA.
I guess I'm talking more about, you know, as a
(00:44):
grown up, sleeping with something that you had as a
child that was yours. That's something you created. Now, I mean,
what would your Jason, would your childhood trauma bear look like?
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Build a bear? Well, it looks straight, first of all, Yeah,
it would be straight. It would be dressed in flannel
and jeans.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
But I had one. It was yellow. It was almost
like a care bear looking sort of situation. But I
would like suck my thumb with it and like rub
my nose till a very old age that I shouldn't
be sucking my thumb and rubbing my nose with it anymore.
And then it like destroyed it. So now it's just
in Pisa as my mom has it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, And did you guys have it, like, did you
guys have anything like that growing up?
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Would you have a name for it or I don't
think I ever named him, because.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
I had a blanket until I was probably or so,
maybe twenty five, But yeah, I had a blanket, but
I think I think Blankie I think was its name.
I don't know if any of you guys had like
a because there often are funny names to go with
these things too, like Amanda. My sister had a little,
I don't know, a little twelve by twelve inch square
(01:49):
kind of blanket thingy, and I don't know why, but
it was called Soggy, that's what its name was. And
my mom was very smart because soagi would disappear sometimes,
and so my mom went to the storm and bought
like thirty soggies, and so there was a Soggy stash
somewhere in case something happened. Then my sister who was
an extremely discerning of discerning taste of the soggies. She
(02:10):
not only knew which soggi was which, but she knew
which was off brand correct because like, they stopped making soggy.
So my mom found something that was just like it.
Oh no, no, no, no, no, that wasn't gonna do because
this is not like the other one. And of course
the one she wanted was the one that was completely
worn in, you know, and had been drug across the
you know the world. And so yeah, but Bell, excuse me, gig,
(02:32):
she knows. She knows if you don't give it the
right one.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Yeah, she's got the stuffed animal that well it's miss Rachel.
But she knows when it's not the og one. I
don't know if it's like a scent thing or she
just knows. But like I've I bought multiple because I
knew this is gonna happen. We're gonna end up leaving
it somewhere, you know, we go to our family dinners
at Hooters or whatever, we're gonna up leaving it. And
it's happened where we have left it. We've gone back
for it. But she just knows, and it's funny that
(02:56):
they were so funny with those little stuffed animals.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Yeah, that's that's say if at Paul in this household,
she left the stuffed Miss Rachel Dole at Hooters after
family dinner.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Hey, Rachel wants boobs and beer. I mean, what am
I supposed to say?
Speaker 1 (03:09):
There's nothing wrong with them exactly. There's nothing to be
ashamed of there. You didn't have something like this. I
had childhood trauma.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Yeah plenty.
Speaker 5 (03:16):
But I had a Barney, a Barney stuffed animals, and
I didn't have it for long.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
But like my when I was.
Speaker 5 (03:21):
A little kid, they always tell a story about they
left it at my grandparents' house in the city and
got all the way to the Northwest suburbs and had
to turn around to go get my Barney because I
was throwing a tantrum over Barney. Where Barney is Marston
Pea's Barney. I don't know whatever happened to that thing.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I mean, I guess that's what you have to do
as a parent, is one maybe one day you just
take Barney away, and then Barney just sort of disappears,
and you learn to move on without Barney or me, and.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Then you just carry the thing through life.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
You know, you have a little Blankey in the bed
still to this day, I think it does exist somewhere.
I think my mom kept it Blanky, but it was
there won't much left of it after you know, many
years of whatever. In fact, I remember one family trip
we went to see my grandparents in Peoria, Illinois, and
uh and Blankie somehow got left behind and Blankie got
fedexed overnight. I can't imagine what that would have cost
(04:15):
at the time, but apparently there was a I was,
you know, five or six years old, and there was
a serious meltdown because where how on earth was I
to function without that thing?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Right? But you left?
Speaker 5 (04:25):
But what I didn't realize, Like, girl, you left the barney,
but you need the barney so bad.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But you you're the one that let well.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
But I don't know if I was responsible at six
for packing my own belongings, I don't I don't know if,
like I, I should have had that responsibility, because I
don't know what I would have brought. You know, if
I was responsible for, you know, packing for a week
at six, I don't know. I probably would have brought
like well, I probably would have just brought blankie and
that's it exactly. And then I would have had no
Chiloney's or you know, little uh, no fear shirts to.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Wear or anything. I don't know what. I don't know
what I would have done.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
But anyway, I wasn't sure if any of you had
like a serious connection with with any kind of stuffed animal.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Michelle, Michelle does I Michelle? Good morning?
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Hi? How are you?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Hi? You still sleep with with?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
What?
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Well? With who? What?
Speaker 6 (05:16):
It's It's my Mickey Mouse that I've had for quite
a few years. My grandpa passed away a few years ago,
and when I was younger, my dad and him took
me to Sea Disney and Ice and I still have
the Mickey Mouse that they bought me. And how are
you so now I'm forty one?
Speaker 2 (05:38):
Forty one? And do you like clutch it? Yeah? At night?
Oh so it's very much with you.
Speaker 6 (05:45):
Yes, but now my my daughter sleeps with it now,
so she kind of took over my Mickey mouse.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Well, yeah, sweet, that's sweet.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
I just I don't know how many people our age
still sleep with the stuff in this But there's nothing
that's nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
And my husband makes sun of me every time when
he sees this Mickey mouse.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
So, oh, well, at least you have one of those,
and we have a husband soksin for who you are, Michelle,
don't you worry?
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Well?
Speaker 6 (06:14):
Thank you hate him?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Glad.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
If you can get married with a stuffed animal that
you sleep with every night, then I.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
I suppose that's okay.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
I would just I would think that if you had, like,
you know, various childhood stuff in your bed as a
grown up, that might hinder your ability to meet new people.
Speaker 6 (06:32):
No.
Speaker 7 (06:32):
Two of my friends are pregnant and both sleep with
their blankies from that they've had since day one. One
his name be and I don't know if the red
satin one has a name. But you're supposed to take
your fingers around the satin part of the edge of
the blanket and then like put it on your lips.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's what she does with it. Yep, Wait, what like
she has?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Like I don't know if you notice, like people who
have stuffed animals or baby blankets like sometimes have little
like ticks that they do to like feel comfortable with it.
And hers has My friend Lauras has a satin edge
and she takes the satin and like rubs it along
her lips and her fingers.
Speaker 2 (07:04):
I don't know. You can't see it right now, because
it's right.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
It's sounds sexual the way like when you say it
like that, like satin around my lips and fingers.
Speaker 7 (07:11):
I'm like, hey, wait a minute, no, no, not in
sexual about that, but they're both.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That sounds like a great night after cheesecake factory, but
never after, always before. Oh well, oh yeah, I can
said I was gonna get go. I have more deliveries
biggest stories of the day.
