Take, for instance, these two commenters on Twitter:

“I was that kid that took my favorite stuffed animal everywhere I went.”

“I was that kid that would beat you up if you touched my favorite stuffed animal.”

Another commenter writes that his four-year-old just wrapped his favorite plush toy in a blankie and is playing at being a Daddy, while another one writes that her toddler just disemboweled his favorite stuffed animal. Uh-oh.
