This thread is so precious, I love reading all your stories. It's so wonderful how ponies have brought so many people together and been a bright spot in so many people's lives, I can definitely relate to that.
I have about a million pony stories, but the most recent one I can think of was last summer. I was at Heroes Con in NC and was hunting down all the MLP comic book artists to get their signatures. I was waiting in line at a table (it was Andy Price's exhibit if I remember right) and there was this dad there with a little girl I assume was his daughter. He asked me if I was there for My Little Pony artists and I confirmed that I was. Then he turned to his daughter and said, "See? You don't have to outgrow My Little Pony!"
It was just the sweetest thing ever, especially because when I was a kid, I was super embarrassed by my pony collecting because it was "supposed" to be for little kids. It was nice to see a parent being supportive of their kid liking whatever makes them happy.
Plus I got a lot of signatures, which was super cool.
