A combination of watching The Christmas Toy and my uncle, who liked to move my Cabbage Patch doll around when I left the room, had me convinced that my toys came to life when I wasn't looking. I would have heartfelt conversations with my dolls, telling them it was okay for them to "reveal" themselves to me, and I promised not to tell anyone if they did.
....it never worked. Or maybe they just didn't believe me.
