In Childish Things, Jerry talks to Teddy and Bunny - who at first appear to be his children - about his life threatening illness, and his difficulties in reconnecting with his daughter Rachel. When Rachel arrives, however, we realize that Teddy and Bunny are the two stuffed toys Jerry used when Rachel was a little girl to try and explain her mother's erratic - and alcoholic - behavior. Unable to reconcile, unable to bridge the gulf between them, Rachel storms out, but not before Jerry gives her Bunny to take with her. Written by Arthur M. Jolly See less
