When I was very, very little, my mother got rid of my pacifier and bottles and what not by telling me as she was laying me down for a nap one day that they all took a little trip down the road together, walked out of the gate and were never coming back. She even did this little dance-y motion with her hands as she was describing it in a sing-song voice, LOL. It's one of the few things I remember from my childhood, as it made me question whether any of the rest of my toys and books were going to decide "To hell with this, we're going on vacation!"
