There was apparently a market for emotionally unstable children's toys in the 1980's.
A recent search online revealed that my melancholy stuffed friend was from a line of toys called "Lost N Founds". Her given name belied her despondent disposition.
In memory of that beloved toy, I have decided to write to the makers of Lost N Founds and suggest that they revive and expand their line of toys. Within the letter, I plan to include a couple helpful ideas. Let me know what you think.
