Well, they say that every day is a school day and today, we learned something new about our newsreader Kim Buckley. She was reading a story about how people now require the presence of their phone as a soothing influence, similar to a comfort blanket or teddy. And then...it happened. Kim let us in on a little secret. At the grand age of 31, she admitted that she has still has a teddy. She still sleeps with him every night and his name is......wait for it..........TEDDY BUCKLEY.
I’m a bit obsessed! #TeddyBuckley pic.twitter.com/wVXfWG33Ug

It turns out she's not alone. The teddy and blanket confessions began to roll in. Paula Mac Sweeney had a 'night-night', her bedtime blanket. Shauna had her 'ni-ni' which we gather is basically the same as the 'night-night'.
Owlie and Ted, mine and my husband's childhood teddies. They have been adopted by our kids and have special, sleep inducing powers (sometimes). pic.twitter.com/WKujsKoivI
