No matter how 'manly' a guy thinks he is, I *know* he probably has a stuffed toy hidden away somewhere and I haven't met a guy so far who hasn't at some point told me (very quietly and very discreetly) that he has a teddy bear or other stuffed toy that he values, so I know it's not 'just a girl thing'.
I have quite a few stuffed animals from my childhood, because I simply can't part with them. And nestled among the collection is one that actually does belong to my husband! His mother bought it for him, the day that she found out she was pregnant. It's in pretty good condition, considering he'll be 38 this summer...
