One of the girls I was dating forgot to hide her stuffed animals when I came over for a movie night. She was embarrassed, but I thought it was really sweet. It shows the more human aspect of people :)
When I started dating my current BF years later, and saw that he had two stuffed animals on his bed that he sleeps with each night, I knew he was a keeper!
That is really sweet. In the past, I've thought it was a little weird when adults have security blankets and stuffed animals they sleep with, but you are totally right that it shows their humanity. Everyone has a need to feel safe, especially at night, and if that comfort comes from a stuffed animal, so be it!
