>adore toy story with everything in my, woody is my favorite everything >carry the original doll around everywhere with, sometimes even dress up as a cowboy for the heck of it. I was literally Andy >years come and go and I'm more into power rangers and GI joes eventually, toy story stuff is boxed away in storage building behind our house>maybe a year goes by and this enormous storm comes. Torrential rains, terrible flooding, etc. >storage building got a leak in the roof through all that rain>the toy story box was a victim >I pull out a water damaged woody that no longer talks in absolute horror>I bawl my fucking eyes out for the rest of the day. My carelessness has ruined my friend >years come and go once more, I've sat him in my room out of respect but it's not the same >I'm older now, maybe 12, and I just get obsessed with fixing him one day >parents are paranoid freaks and won't use the internet to order anything, so a new woody (which I didn't want anyway) was out of the question >one day another terrible storm comes, tornado warning for the area>storm passes and we're all fine >few days later, I do my daily "pick woody up and tell him I still love him">his string looks tight and secure where it used to be all gross and hanging loosely >what>pull it>YOURE MY FAVORITE DEPUTYTo this fucking day I have NO idea how it got fixed. My parents did not have any means of ordering online. The old voice box was totally ruined and I got brave one day after he came back to life and looked to see what kind of witchcraft miracle was inside and it was a BRAND NEW voice box. To this day, I cannot explain it.
