Fred.

After watching Toy Story 3 (in 3D!), I came home with warm fuzzy feelies and a completely renewed appreciation for Fred. Fred was gifted to me when I was born and became a favorite drag-around (with short-lived affairs with a scarf-wearing penguin and a multicolored parrot in between). In high school, Fred acquired his very useful function for becoming the filler between my bed and wall so my pillows and blanket wouldn’t keep falling down the gap. He faithfully served this function when I took him to college, then post college, and still sits smiling on/next to my bed with his head sticking out from under my other pillows to this day.
