Space, Lions, and Yellow Pants

When I was 10 I had a ton of stuffed animals. One was a lion, and I'm pretty sure my dog ate its nose off because he did that to all of my stuffed animals.

I had to be careful with the synthetic fibers in the lion's mane, having seen what fire and clothes dryers did to my sister's stuffed animals.

If only I had thought to send my lion to space! His nose would have remained intact.
