I think your view makes a lot of sense, actually. Granted, I DO remember instances in stories where toys could be jerks to each other (The Velveteen Rabbit, for one), and whenever I played dolls as a girl some of them could be really mean to each other. But then again that was me playing them as PEOPLE, not as actual toys. Then again...

I dunno. XD I've never actually thought about this before, but like I said all of this makes sense.
