h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I have a set of worry dolls. They're about 1cm tall and live in a little box. Each night you tell each one a different worry and then in the morning when you wake up those worries have gone!

I hate to burst your bubble, but aren't you kidding yourself? The only way to get rid of your worries is to tell them to the dog. (If you don't have one, don't get one. They come with a whole set of worries of their own)

I think you're the one kidding yourself. My dolls don't require tinned food, water, walkies and after I've told them my worries they don't go out and worry sheep!

Or you could feed the worry dolls to the dog.
That certainly would cheer me up!
Of course, I'd first have to get a dog. And worry dolls.
Hm..... now that I think about it, a cat would be cooler.
Come to think of it, why don't we just get rid of worry like cats do, get a worry scratching post or something?

Unfortunately, I was given a set of worry dolls a few years back. They were little woollen(?) people that came in a little bag.
I was so worried about someone discovering them near my bed, I promptly palmed them off to a (luckily for me) very upset friend.
