I bought this cutie when I was doing my grocery shopping, and I really don't know why because I'm an adult

And being an adult somehow would mean you couldn't?

Do what your heart tells you. Not what you think your age mandates.

Nothing wrong with plushies. My husband bought me a stuffed lion, and a lion backpack.

The child in you is still very much alive.
Love her. 💗

Adults like stuffies too.
