“Hi – my name is Scott.
The item I brought today is a stuffed Ernie doll from my childhood. It was one of the first items that I possessed, given to me by my parents of course, as an infant.
I have had it with me since I left home, through college and I still have it next to my bed today.
Have I ever washed Ernie? Oh Yeah! -He goes in a pillow case. He’s about to fall apart so he doesn’t get washed anymore.”
Tidbit:
Ernie is getting on in life, he will be 32 years old this year. Scott would consider surgery on Ernie.
