The American Alligator.
Beastly, carnivorous, the subject of wives tales and reality survival shows. Mostly recently, my sons indispensible, second-only-to-dad-in-coolness new buddy. He carries a 3 foot long alligator everywhere we go. It rides in the cart with us at Home Depot, everyone who walks by does a double take.

"Baby, Allgator."
"Yes, James, that is your Alligator."
"This, this, this, this"

"This" accompanied by pointing at the object is his was of saying, "that's right, its mine, and its bad ass."

Teddy bears, fairies, overly verbose plastic dogs?

My kids toy eats them.

I cannot get enough of it.
