Yes, I had a giant teddy bear, all brown but with a canary yellow tummy. My paternal grandmother bought it for me from the store called Leipzig which sold goods imported from the German Democratic Republic. I loved the teddy bear and slept with it. It (or, rather, he) helped me fall asleep on the nights when my parents came back from work so late that I had to put myself to bed. This started when I was in 2nd grade.

When did you start staying home alone as a child?
