Where Did My Toys Go? The series evolved after one day a close friend asked me when did I last climb a tree? What a question‚ when did I? When was that day that all the joys of childhood slipped away and I became that teenager that was too cool to climb a tree? With this notion came many images and many more thoughts‚ when did I put away my Action Man or where did my sisterÕs Barbie Go!? Come to think of it‚ Where did my toys go? At some point at the end of my childhood I put down my toys‚ and at some point at the end of my teenage years the Toys had disappeared. I did not have any younger siblings‚ my toys were not inherited or passed down so where did they go? If I think back to my childhood‚ I can see many opportunities for my Toys to disappear‚ maybe they went to the numerous Car–boot sales my mother went too‚ or maybe it went into the Rubbish bag that my mother threatened us with when we left our toys out. I do not knowÉ. The stranger fact of life is that the Toys re–appeared! For me it was with the arrival of my nephews into the world. Initially it was not with there birth‚ but when they were old enough to need to be entertained whilst visiting their uncle‚ Stranger still I brought them but they were not for me to play with. This day however I played‚ I brought the toys I had as a child‚ I took them to the beach and I playedÉ.But he question still remains‚ Where did my Toys Go? |
