Today, my daughter had a meltdown when I told her I donated some of her old toys to Goodwill. It turns out Toy Story has taught her that toys have feelings and that she has a meaningful relationship with them. She's in her teens. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, I found an old toy that I gave to my daughter several years ago. It was still unopened, and long forgotten, so I decided to re-gift it to one of my friend's children. My daughter immediately remembered her "favorite" toy and started crying inconsolably. FML
Today, my manager told me to throw out some of the old toys at the daycare we work at. I can't because I've seen Toy Story 3, and thinking about them in a dump makes me cry. I'm 28. FML
Today, my 8 year-old adopted daughter told me she wants me to take her back so another family can adopt her because I don't give her enough toys. FML
Today, I realized the reason my 20-year-old daughter has been so moody and aggressive is because she missed the promotional My Little Pony toys at McDonald's. FML
Today, my 8 year-old niece gave me back a Fluttershy plush I gifted her 4 years ago. When I told her it was a gift from the heart, she insisted on exchanging it for something of equal value. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I finally watched Toy Story 3; I ended up crying when the toys almost die. After the movie, my girlfriend broke up with me because I embarrassed her. FML
Today, my two year old daughter did not want to leave the toy store, when I picked her up she started screaming at the top of her lungs, "YOU'RE NOT MY DADDY!". FML
Today, my 18 year-old daughter comes home, telling me she has been fired from her job at McDonalds. The reason? They had iCarly Happy Meal toys and she couldn't resist stealing one. FML
Today, I was watching TV when a Toy Story 3 commercial came on. My Mom said, "Oh, I remember when I took you to see Toy Story. Now Andy's all grown up and so are you. The only difference is Andy is going to college and you're not." FML
Today, my 14 year-old daughter is so selfish that on her sister's birthday, she found the present, assumed it must be for her, opened it, then destroyed it when she saw it was frozen Anna and Elsa dolls because she hates Frozen. Her sister loves Frozen, and hasn’t stopped crying over Anna’s severed head. FML

Toys are memories. You should have at least talked to her about it first.

Even if what she thinks is irrational, YDI for giving away her toys without talking to her first. I'm 25 and still have my favorite stuffed animals/toys and sleep with them.

They were her toys, not yours. You don't know what they meant to her. Go buy them back or something.

See how you like it if she gets rid of your toys. You'll have a meltdown when you realize you're going to have to rely on your husband to pleasure you. Maybe you can get his fat ass off the couch, but he certainly can't vibrate at 60 hertz ;)

Unlike those above me, I picked up on your Toy Story quote. ^_^

I'm undecided if this is a FYL or a YDI. I'm really attached to some of my toys from when I was a kid and if my mom gave them away I'd be so sad and upset. I do have a "relationship" with them if you want to call it that but it's kinda like a bond with them ya know?

I agree with your daughter. Some toys just can't be thrown away

*gasp* do you mean to tell me Disney has it all wrong?! Toys are really just inanimate objects?! Does this mean they also lied about mermaids too? And I should stop looking for my magic genie!? Everything I've been working towards... My whole life... Just lost all meaning. X_X

#124, and you have my pity . . . that so few people spotted this great quote.

You could've asked.

Sounds like a "Plug-In Baby". A Plug-In Baby is something soulless that you give meaning to; such as a child's teddy bear - or a guitarists' guitar. You shouldn't try to degrade her by saying "She's in her teens", everyone holds something of little value to be precious. From wedding rings to a memento of a lost one.
