so, in a somewhat related story, when i was younger i had this doll that my cousin jessie and i named "jenny." once when we were playing with her, "jenny" began to scare us for some reason... which is really weird. mainly because obviously she was a doll. so anything "jenny" said or did was actually one of us. but regardless, we became really afraid of jenny, and wouldn't sleep in the same room as her. i'm pretty sure we either slept in my parents' room that night or left the "jenny" doll in my parents room. and then we cut all her hair off.
i just felt like that was worth sharing.
