Hey guys! I am writing a paper and we have to survey people (the more the better) So I was wondering if you could answer my questions?

Did you have an item that comforted you as a child (like a blankie, toy, stuffed animal...)
When did you get it/ get rid of it?
Did you suck your thumb or have a pacifier?

Thats it! My teacher prefers we include gender and a first name but you can choose to remain anonymous!
Thanks for all you lovely people who help me

I had a little white bear named spoofy.
Dad bought it for me in the hospital gift shop when I was born. He said it was as white as I was. Dad named it when I was 18 months old...I would call it spoooo spoooooo....so he called it spoofy.

I still have it but it's in pretty sad shape. (I am 21 now)
I sucked a pacifier or the ear of spoofy.

Yes - a koala bear that my Dad gave my Mom when he returned from Vietnam...my parents would put it in my crib when I was a baby, and that thing went everywhere with me for many years.

- it lost an eye, and a lot of it's fur is off of it, but it's still somewhere in my attic in a box... I do not keep a lot of 'token gifts' around at all, but that little bear was very sentimental to me.

- and didn't suck thumb or use a pacifier

1. My teddy bear, named Teddy (how odd, huh?).

2. I got him the day I was born as a gift from my oldest sister, who, if memory serves, bought him at the hospital gift shop (might be wrong on that). I still have him, although he is MUCH worse for wear these days. His original ears had fallen off, his tail is gone, his nose is gone, his eyes have fallen off (twice), and his tongue fell off. My mother lovingly "rebuilt" him -- sewed new ears, new buttons for eyes (a mis-matched one was replaced when it fell off again), and sewed a new tongue for him. Most of his "fur" is gone. His job is long done, his duty well-served, and now he resides on a shelf in my bedroom, serving a well-earned and highly-deserved retirement from service.

3. Never sucked my thumb (at least, not that I know of -- might be wrong on that), but I did have a pacifier. In fact, I still kept it as a childhood remembrance up until a handful of years ago. No idea where it is now, or if it even exists anymore.
