My funny son made me laugh. I bought him a small blue fan after the elder broke his first one (he has an obsession with fans).
He was so happy n carrying it around the way as he walked about the house , as children usually do with teddy bears. I found it hilarious
I had a 1:43 scale Ferrari F-40 I did that with a lot as a kid.

Mine was a plastic (and very realistic-looking) savannah monitor lizard. I don’t recall ever actually naming it, but gosh, I loved that thing. I still have it, although when I was little I chewed off some of its toes and the tip of its tail.
I actually wish I could still get away with carrying a stuffed animal in public without drawing attention, because I have become very attached to my stuffed tiger shark (Lilia). I’m debating whether I want to carry her around anyway or would feel too awkward.
