It is the only toy that I can remember my parents giving to me and then a little while later, taking away from me.

I used them as burp cloths, as bibs, to wipe up spit and snot and drool and stuff, and as a drape to block the sun in the car. They only get softer each time you wash them, and here 3 1/2 years later I dust furniture with them. Cloth diapers are a good thing to get.
