Writer's Block: Your own toy story

[Error: unknown template qotd]

When I was a baby, my parents bought me a talking Sylvester (from Looney Tunres and Merrie Melodies) toy. You pulled the string by his tail and he said "Sufferin' succotash!" I took him with me everywhere and couldn't stand to be parted from him. In '84 when I was four, my cousin decided to give him a bath, and though she didn't soak him, the talking mechanism still got wet enough that it stopped working. My folks bought me a new Sylvester, and I then started carrying both around after that. Now 31 years after getting the original one, and 27 years after getting the second one, I still chersih them both, and the second one still talks, though the mechanism is about wore out and cannot be understood anymore.
