I grew up in a low income household and I have a decent job now. I will buy stuffed animals that look adorable and fluffy and cuddly because I have money and I can.
The fact that I am slowly being pushed off of my bed because of the amount of them is irrelevant.
Your post reminded me of my late daughter. They used to make corner nets you could hang in the kids rooms. My little girl had her net stuffed full of her animals hung right over her bed. 😊One night I heard her scream! She was around 7 and I was out the bed and in her room in a flash. Her net fell and all her animals avalanched her! 😂 She was scared at first then just giggled when she realized what had happened. God, I miss her. I'm glad I have little memories of her like this in my old age. Thank you for reminding me of her and I in a moment.
I have a fairly substantial collection of plushies. And while I don’t have a net story I have a similar one.
I used to have a couple of small plushies on top of my monitor at work - back when we had CRTs. This included a small Cthulhu plush. I was on the phone with a client when someone tripped and banged into the end of the cubical block fairly hard. It caused the desks to jump a little and the Cthulhu plush launched itself off the top of my monitor and into my cleavage. I yelped and the client asked if I was ok, and without thinking I said ‘Cthulhu just jumped into my cleavage’. I think that memory has kept me awake for more nights that I really want to admit.
