Mom asked me and my brother to give away all the stickers, paint brushes, colors, erasers of different sizes, shapes and colors to the maid's kids .. Me and my brother were crazy about stickers when kids, had everything from Aladdin, Garfield, Dennis da Menace, Scooby Doo, Ninja Turtles, Teddy Bears...simple and the ones that glow in dark, the one with radium which used to fantasize us like anything.. Both of us loved drawing, sketching and painting, we still do, but have hardly got any time to spare for it now..
When mom asked us to give them away, we were busy talking about something, so we nodded and said 'ok' ..simply..but while separating them out from the box, I felt as if the whole Tornedo of childhood blew a cool breeze which made me feel very possessive about them, but then...I thought..we loved it when we were kids..so it may bring a spirit of happiness in those kids' life as well, anyways we were not going to use it ever, and would also not be able to look at them everyday..But those small petty things are inevitable parts of our childhood.. :(
I just hope that those kids will respect the things, which were taken care of, so much, so far and given to them now..
