You have a plush squid?Yes. Yes, I do. I named him Oliver before I realized he has only 5 appendages. I like Squiddie Smalls...I should have thought longer and harder about his name, given his importance in my life!
A cephalopod neighbour?I wish.

The bed is full of stuffed wolves that Hubby finds in thrift stores
Mal's BFF is a stuffed wolf. Named Wolfie. Mal was sobbing and miserable and strapped into his stroller, but managed to grab Wolfie out of a bin in the NMAI. He buried his snot- and tear-covered face in Wolfie's side, and clutched him like crazy, so we had to buy Wolfie.
To this day, Mal sleeps with his head pillowed on Wolfie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Dylan sleeps with his arms around ALL of his stuffed animals and however many books happen to be in bed with him at the time. He claims this is so the monsters don't steal them.

Smart!
I don't actually have any of my stuffed toys from my early childhood. Gunderson and Murphy (both bears from Gund) joined the family when I was 9 and 10.
Clovis and Prudence spend each night sitting behind my pillow, watching over me, and the squashy sleeping companion is selcted each night by a highly scientific process of whichever one seems like the "right" one.
Sigh. It's hard to be an animist.
WORD.

Huh, I don't know if my parents still have my original much-worn teddy bear or not. By the time I was in school I'd plucked it bald, the stomach had to be patched up, and the head was at definite risk of decapitation.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
bt - have you gotten "Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed" by Mo Willems yet??
You know, I think the answer is yes, but I don't know where it's hiding right now. I do have "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus", words I live by.

The Vatican declares The Blues Brothers a "Catholic classic film" alongside The Ten Commandments and The Passion of the Christ:
L'Osservatore editor Gian Maria Vian praised the flick for its plot, in which Jake Blues (Belushi) and his brother Elwood (Aykroyd) battle cops, neo-Nazis and crazed country fans in a bid to save the Catholic orphanage where they were raised.
"For them, this Catholic institution is their only family," Vian wrote. "And they decide to save it at any cost."
L'Osservatore's editorial lavishes praise on the 1980 comic romp, in which Aykroyd and Belushi say that they're "on a mission from God." The writers call it "incredibly shrewd" noting that in one scene a picture of Pope John Paul II could clearly be seen.
