And then, had to take a picture in order to comment properly. So, the photo is the backstory :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/talkingcrow/108608582/in/photostream/ When I was two years old or there-abouts, I took my Raggedy Ann to the hospital when I had my tonsils out. When we got home my mother washed her. All her hair fell out and I cried and was inconsolable for days (story courtesy of mom). She finally went and bought a new Raggedy Ann. Needless to say I am now (mumble mumble) years older, and I have no idea where that new Raggedy Ann ended up. I could, however, put my hands on the original and take a photo in about 3 minutes.
