I clearly remember having a favorite toy when I was a kid. Most kids had a favorite blanket or a favorite stuffed animal or something like that. I was one of the weirder little kids. My favorite toy was a little toy train. It had yellow track pieces and the primary color of the train was blue. The train also had red and yellow on it it different spots. I remember that the train was larger than most train sets but with less track pieces. It was an older one. I remember that i had even named the train. It's name was Otis, like the dog from Garfield. I used to love watching Garfield and I would always read the Garfield comic in the paper. I remember one day when I was sitting at home I was upset and nothing was able to cheer me up. I remember walking into the living room and seeing the train set on the living room floor already pieced together. That was the first day I ever saw that train. That was the day with Otis that I will never forget. It cheered me up a lot to see a new toy in front of me! I sat on the living room floor and played with Otis for hours. Then every time I got upset after that, I'd just put together Otis and play with him for hours on end. I still have that toy train somewhere. I remember coming across Otis a few years ago and putting him together for old times sake. Now that I'm thinking back on this happy time, it may very well be time to put Otis together again.
