Do you have stuff? I know I do. Why do we cling to our stuff?
Well, Christian Jarrett's TED talk details the psychology of ownership.

I hadn't heard about this until now.

I am told that Mine! was one of my first words... The other was no.
Indeed it was Elephants Child, and that was perhaps most famously reiterated in the 1940's by Arthur Lucan in his quite atrocious series of "Old Mother Riley" movies when his most famous catchphrase was:- "I'll have dat and dat and dat and dat and dat and dat and dat and dat and dat and dat" (in an absolutely ludicrous and murderously irritating Irish accent) whenever he was sitting at a table and food was about to served, those movies are so ludicrously obscure now but the same principle still holds true, even now!.
It's an interesting concept, but I think it varies a lot from person to person. Our daughter has a very different view of "personal stuff" than we do ... she doesn't collect or save things the same way we do.
Interesting! And I enjoyed the cute animation too.
EC - No is usually the first word because kids hear it so much when they're babies. According to this video, mine is a thought. You learned to verbalize it!
OPS - Is that you? - I tried listening to "Old Mother Riley" but couldn't understand half of it.
B - Does your daughter embrace Marie Kondo? I think Marie Kondo is a little extreme.
DSWS - Did it make you want to go out and rent a storage locker to keep your stuff?
Yeah Mike, it was a geezer dressed up as a bird, and the bird who played his daughter was actually his wife in real life!. And, as you said, that bizarre accent was totally absurd and completely indecipherable 85% of the time. Even when they were first released (getting on for 80 years ago now!) they were called "Absolutely appalling, excruciatingly unwatchable, murderously embarrassing and an insult to the medium of the moving image" by quite a lot of film critics from that period!. BTW Mike, Merry Christmas.
LJ - Merry Christmas
Cheers my good buddy, much appreciated, you have a great Christmas as well.
