A Toy's Name on His Feet, Explained: gotten over him
A worried toy asks when Woody will come back, and gets an answer that explains everything: "You have your child's name written on your feet." Later, the same conversation turns into gossip about the owner Woody left behind.
What happens
Forky keeps asking when Woody is coming back, and the reply is a reminder that a toy with a kid's name on its feet is a toy that matters. The chat drifts into Woody's past, revealing that Bonnie was not his first child and that he may never have gotten over Andy.

What's really going on
The scene is about what makes a toy valuable, and it answers with a body part. When asked how anyone can be sure Woody will return, the reply is "You have your child's name written on your feet" — proof of belonging that is literally carried around. From there the talk slides into Woody's history, and the reveal that he had another kid, Andy, turns friendly catching-up into a quiet diagnosis: "I don't think he's ever gotten over him." It reframes Woody's loyalty as something closer to grief, and sets up why he keeps chasing a purpose when everyone else has settled. Even the lightest lines here are about being wanted.

Questions about this scene
Why does Woody keep leaving Bonnie to help other toys?
He seems to still be looking for the sense of purpose he had with Andy. The conversation here suggests he has never fully gotten over losing that role.
What does 'a name written on your feet' mean to the toys?
It is proof that a child claimed you, and that you matter to someone. It is offered as the reason Woody will not forget the toys he left behind.
Who was Woody's first kid?
Andy. Woody belonged to him before Bonnie, which is why the others describe it as a life the toy never really moved past.
Why does the toy say Harmony is perfect?
She is defending the girl who took Woody, insisting that nothing was lost or mishandled. The boast hides that Woody is gone.
