Woody

Many years ago (I won't say just how many), my Uncle Scott bought me a Woody Woodpecker plush.  My mom told me years later that she thought it was odd because it's not cuddly. I mean, it's got a hard plastic beak protruding from his face.  Clearly, I loved it in spite (because?) of those plastic hands, feet, and face.  Now as a mama, I get it.  I've found myself wondering the same thing. That thing is NOT snuggly.  Why does my daughter love to sleep with it?  And yet... 30+ years later, he's still around, still being snuggled, chewed on, and loved!
