Nowadays I keep my beloved toys in a big box where mice can't chew them. As a kid, I used to pack all the toys in a backpack in case there would be a fire, so I could just take the backpack with me.

• Unipupu, my most treasured stuffed bunny.
  • Great-grandpa's sister gave her to me when I was maybe 5 years old.
  • Unipupu was brought from China, if I remember correctly, and she likes wearing dresses and sweaters.
  • She's all battered and napless because she has been everywhere with me.
• Jessica (stuffed goose) and Piippi (stuffed duck).
  • I bought Jessica from Mallorca. She was in a big bin with all the other geese, but I knew she was the one I wanted.
  • Jessica has a stain on her chin from drinking Nestlé chocolate milk.
  • Jessica uses stud earrings as pacifiers.
  • Jessica's feet and eyes would sometimes fall off and mom had to sew them on again.
  • I bought Piippi from Gran Canaria.
  • Piippi likes to sleep.
  • Jessica and Piippi are best friends.
• Three Littlest Pet Shop mice.
  • My favourite of them once got lost when we were at my grandma's. She was later found in the ceiling wreath.
  • Two of the mice have magnets on them. The third one doesn't, he just sleeps.
• Red stuffed cat.
  • One time I was playing with him outside, he fell into a ditch. His insides got all hard and crispy!
  • His eyes were closed and he had a smile on his face.
• Big baby blue stuffed bear.
  • I got him from my godmother as a christening gift.
  • Once I had a terrible nightmare when I was sleeping with the bear in my bed. After that, I never wanted to sleep next to him again.
• Three small toy horses.
  • They all had wounds that would heal when you put them in hot water.
  • Their colours were white (he was bending over to eat grass), light brown (he stood up and looked around) and grey (he was a pony).
  • Unfortunately it seems I have lost my favourite of them, the grey pony. This saddens me a lot.
• Three little baby dinosaurs.
  • They got mud all over them when you put them in cold water!
  • I think I bought them from Mallorca, too.
  • I remember playing with them at my cousins' house one summer.
  • The teal one was asleep, the yellow one was holding a rattle and the purple one was chewing on a bone.
• Two stuffed tigers.
  • One of them is a big tiger, the other one is a baby tiger.
  • I stole the baby tiger from my cousin.
  • The baby tiger is much more worn and she has no tail left.
• Muru, a knitted doll my mom made at school.
  • Sometimes her arms and legs would come off and mom had to sew them on again.
• A little stuffed bear.
  • I won him from some contest or game at an amusement park.
  • Once he got lost and I asked mom if she had seen the bear. She had no idea what I was talking about, because he does not look like a special bear.
  • I later found him and now he's happily sleeping in a tiny sleeping bag.
• A stuffed pink panther.
  • When I played Calvin, the panther would be my Hobbes.
  • I always threw him out of the second store window in the summer.
  • His arms weren't attached to his body too well, so sometimes I noticed he had lost an arm and I had to search for it everywhere with mom.
• A bunch of dinosaur toys. Fuck yeah.
  • One tiny dinosaur got decapitated during playing when I was little. I started crying and I asked mom if she could fix the dinosaur. She said yes, but put the dinosaur in the trash while I was still looking. :(
• Five kittens.
  • They all had different coloured collars and bows.
  • I bought them from a thrift store.
• A mother penguin and five baby penguins.
  • These were one of my favourite things to play with. :3
