Giant stuffed animals have played a role in my life from the start. There was that time when I was three years old and my sister was five. We were in a store's toy department, and my father said he'd buy us any one item if we could agree on it and share it. We looked around and around, and eventually we looked up and saw, on the highest shelf, a giant stuffed rabbit. "We'll take that!" my sister said. It was probably the most expensive item in the toy department. But my father was a man of his word. And so he bought it for us. He likely figured it was a good investment. A home could always use another giant stuffed animal. As I reached adulthood and kept showing up with more and bigger stuffed animals, my father suspected that I was paying people off. He assumed that I was waiting for winners over by the squirt guns, and then slipping a 50 to some guy who didn't realize how a giant stuffed animal could change the world's perception of him. But I never paid for a stuffed animal. And I never cheated. OK, I admit that I leaned. That's the only way to do it at the ring toss. I am a leaner, but I am not a cheater.
