Elizabeth loved Toy Story 3 and watched it over and over.  Somehow, it evolved into when a toy of hers broke (and got thrown away when she wasn’t looking), she decided that Andy took it to college with him.

So we tell her that a lot.  Whenever anything is gone, we tell her that Andy took it to college.  She accepts this beautifully and doesn’t argue and seems quite happy with that as a solution.

I suspect that she will go to college some day and be really disappointed that hundreds of her old toys aren’t waiting for her there.
