Lore has been given a few stuffed animals. She always ignored them as they sat on top of her dresser and never gave them a second thought. Just recently she's taken a liking to them and has them lined up on a chair in her bedroom.
One time, when I came into her room she was sitting on the edge of her bed. She patted the bed next to her for me to "Have a seat." Then indicating, with a wave of her hand, the chair in front of her, where the stuffed animals sat wide eyed and waiting. She says, "Look at those idiots. I don't know where they came from, or who gave them to me, but there they are. " Then, she leans toward me in a very confidential manner as if to tell a secret , "You know, I never was one of those (adults? old ladies?) that went in for this sort of thing or played with dolls, of course I did when I was child. But now, I see them there and they make me laugh. Silly, huh?"
