Well at least Lamb Chop is universal.<br /><br />Snaggle Tooth -- You are early today. Usually you are my last commenter. Everyone is probably allergic to stuffed animals if we really knew it.<br /><br />Rae – Yes the princess monkey was my favorite.<br /><br />Cliff – It is very interesting to know you had a sock monkey as a child and it is even more interesting to know you would admit it. Wonder if my son ever confesses that he had a raggedy Andy doll?<br /><br />Changes in the wind – It was hard to leave them all there. Somehow I could picture them joining hands and following me out of the store.<br /><br />Bonnie – Sock Reindeer? I would have found those difficult to pass up as well. Maybe they will have them again.<br /><br />Cube – I was wondering if many people can fork over $56 for one. You can buy huge stuffed teddy bears for around $20. However these are homemade and quite unusual.<br /><br />Nancy – Should have known you would figure it all out. I’m pretty sure he is being scheduled for psychiatric flea market counseling<br /><br />Riot Kitty – Maybe those sock monkeys were imported from Texas.<br /><br />Nezzy – How sad. Did anyone get a sock monkey and a scooter instead of you or was it because there weren’t any?

When I was little, the hospital always gave them to the patients on the children's ward. Last year Walmart carried sock reindeer. Should have bought one, but I didn't.

When ever I see one and tell my grown children how I loved and cared for my little buddy they just stare at me and you can see the thoughts of "hmmm, I wonder which rest home would take someone that big" going thru their minds.<br />I also used to get mad at him if Mom made me take a nap and then I'd have to punch I'm.
