Hello dear members,
Every child has a secret chamber in his mind, stuffed with fantastic stories and figurines. A child also prefer to keep all his toys somewhere safe so that grown ups can never muddle with them. I had a large box where I used to keep all fragile toys. I also used plastic bags on this purpose. I was pretty serious about my toys. I was very possessive, but when my friends came to play I didn't mind sharing with them my toys. I had little figurines that were put into plastic bags with their limbs twisted. I felt sorry for them, but there is nothing much I could do about it. I also had a habit to put them on shelf in a very strategic position so that a certain theme is conveyed through them. I remember playing with those tiny dolls. All the stories that I read and the movies that I watched, I used to recreate them while playing with those toys. The ugliest toy was an elephant. He was one dirty looking villain and was always beaten up by some charming and handsome boys. But when the game was over, they all went to the plastic bag together. There they laid with peace and never had a fight until they were taken out again the next day.
What about you? Where did you put your most precious toys?
Thanks in advance for your response.
God bless you all

hi getbiswa. I was thought when I was a child to keep my toys on the cabinet right after playing with them. I usually leave my most favorite toy beside me and as far as I can remember it is a snake toy rofl I'm kind of scared with dolls before even though I'm a girl, I don't like them. I feel like they're gonna move by themselves or something which really would freak me out rofl. Anyway, my very own cabinet for TOYS ONLY is where I keep my toys safe


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Yeah, there was a good reason to keep your toys safe as they are the most valuable things a child has. Now I liked animal figurines the most. I was absolutely in love with rhinos. This is quite strange. I really don't understand why I went on buying so many rhino toys. Probably I liked their strength and peaceful nature. I still love animals. Thanks so much for sharing your memories with us.
Please feel free to call me Biswa. That is my name.
God bless you

I used to my toys in a crate with wheels under my bed. So at night, when I feel awake or can't sleep, I used to pull them out and play with them until I felt sleepy :)


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Wow! That is quite an interesting response. Yes, children have lots of bad dreams, as their tiny minds are always filled with strange imaginations. I think my emotions were successfully released through my games and it felt great to dream about them even when I was asleep. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

Hi,
Yes, sometimes we just don't wanna grow up. We kinda force ourselves in doing this as the entire world expects us to grow up. It is an imposition indeed. But we always carry with us a small child. In every heart it plays, laughs, runs wild and cheers with wild joy. In every heart there is a child, who is always free to do anything he wants. Deep inside we are actually simple, peaceful and joyous. Thanks for sharing your views with us.
God bless you

i was so poor.. i was so pathetic. i never had the chance to have those stuff..

when i was a child i enjoy myself not through those toys but through my friends.. we climbed trees, swim the river. eat a lot of fruits like mangoes, star apple, cherries and a lot in the background... We play games preferably native games like patentero, slipper kick, hiking the hills near the house and other forms of exterior activities... playing spiders is another thing to be given attention during summer...

hehehe.....

Oh dear, you had the most precious toy, which only few of us have ever possessed. You had the whole nature, you played with it. You should be so fortunate to be such a special child of God, to be so close to him all along. I am so glad you participated in this discussion. Huggs!
God bless you


myLot reputation of 74/100. markleob (942)   ranked 2,238 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

thank you. i am just imparting the truth about me.... when i was i child i dont buy toys. i made my own toys. i could just remember how my friends and i made some toy cars out of empty cans...how sad, i miss my homeland..

but i never blamed my parents of being poor.. it challenged me to soar high in everything i do... poverty taught me to be independent and a well rounded individual. i learned to earn a living in any GOOD forms... i am blessed i am poor and i am proud i am poor...

God bless you too....


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Really great thinking. I don't know about independence, but poverty builds your character. It makes you strong. There is a reason to believe that those from wealthy background are more prone to mental instability and confusion in adverse situations, as they hardly ever grew the habit. Being acquainted with reality in your very early life leaves a scope for a great improvement.
Huggs.. hugs

i don't have any toys left from my childhood. too bad i should have kept it so i can pass it over to my niece or my children before. i don't know where my toys are right now. maybe now recycled or buried in the garbage.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

LOL roflToys are never lost dear. They have made your childhood. You may not be aware but all your toys are very well preserved in your childhood memories. As long as you will remember your childhood days, you will be reminded of your toys. They are quite inseparable part of it. And who knows, may be you are still carrying a child inside your heart. Thanks so much for this nice contribution.
God bless you

Every child has a toy......toys don't have to be costly. There are toys made of mud and clay or even cheap plastic ones.....and every child plays with them....Now don't tell me you did not even play with ball.......rofl


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

@meluan
I totally agree with apsara60 here. Even if you didn't have any toys, I would presume that the entire nature was your own playground. God himself provided such a great toy for you that you never actually needed any toy. You were fortunate as most of us weren't so close to nature or weren't quite able to understand its beauty on those days. That is why we needed toys. You didn't. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

Hello getbiswa.......nice discussion. No matter what is your age today or how old you have grown, one can never forget some memories of his/her childhood. And one of these memories is about our favourite toys. well since I was a little girl, obviously, my favourite toy was a beautiful doll. My dad was always moving around from one place to another as part of his job and whenever he came home he brought for me and my two brothers a bunch of lovely toys. He once brought a doll which had a winding key. She had a beautiful pink shining dress and als she had a glass in her one hand and a bottle of wine in another one. When the key was winded, she would pour the wine in the glass and drink it....I use to love looking at her doing this act.......can never forget it. I hate myself for being so careless..one day I broke it..silly...and that was it...happy. And about where I use to hide my toys....well thanks for reminding me....it was a beautiful cloth bag with nice mirror work on it. I use to put all my toys in this bag and at that time this bag was most precious for me.rofl. I wonder where is it now....lol


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
I have been observing you. I think you don't respond to all discussions. You wanna comment only on those that perfectly suits your taste, and I am happy to provide one such discussion to you. The story of your doll was quite amazing. I didn't like pretty dolls on those days. I liked rather masculine, strong dolls. Of course, now that I am grown up, I like pretty faces rofl. But things were entirely different back then. 'A cloth bag, with nice mirror work on it'. Thats so cool. I feel ashamed to be such disorganized about my toys. I used to leave them scattered all over the place even after my game was over. My mom knew how I loved these toys, so she used to put them in a safe place for me. I still cherish those good old days. They were wonderful, like fairy tales. Thanks so much for this wonderful response.
God bless you

Well, you remind me of my childhood memories..cryI just miss a lot. I was very cute and also very naughty when I was a kid. I had lots of toys, dolls, and books. I love playing with toys and my friends come to my house to join me. We use to keep all the toys in a wardrobe. I had a small wardrobe..where I use to hide everythings, sometimes I too hide there while playing hide and seek..lolM house was very big and has lots of space, scattered toys all around and my mom used to make it all at right place.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
Even without looking at your id I can tell that you are a man. Boys are usually not so organized in their childhood as girls are. Though I loved my toys very much, I never mind putting them in an organized way. My mom knew all about it, so she put them in a safe place. I had a huge trunk, but once a toy is out of it, I never put it back in it. I thought that that trunk was a horrible place for people to stay. I even thought that the place may suffocate my tiny soldiers and they may get sick. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you

When I was a child I used to put my toys anywhere coz' I still don't have my own room. My sister and I shared together in a room so I'm a bit lousy and messy when I was child. I don't where I would put it coz' my sister is also using my toys. But when my dad made a cabinet for us where we could put our toys then my mom taught us how to be clean and always organize our things or belongings. So that's the start the I used to put our toys to that cabinet.


myLot reputation of 94/100. getbiswa2000 (2333)   ranked 286 out of 19,259 in questions & answers  2 years ago

Hi,
I was never much organized, thought my parents tried to teach me a several times, but I never stopped being clumsy about my things. My mom used to organize things for me. Even she has to do it now. I wonder what my life would be without her. I know I should manage on my own. Its not about those toys anymore. My mom used to put them in plastic bag once I finished playing. She told me everyday to keep things in safe place, and everyday she had to do that herself. Thanks so much for this wonderful participation.
God bless you

I always put them at my cabinet right after playing it.

But sometimes I forgot to kept them because I was going play another again.

I remember when I was a child, I used to play girls toys like dolls etc. than boys toys. Because I like dressing them up, that's why I ended up like this in my personality.

My toys were always clean because I hate messing them with dirt.

Hi,
Well I had many dolls. I really liked to play with them. They were mostly soldiers. Fearsome used to be the villains and the most charming and handsome one was always the hero. There were princess too, as it was mandatory to have one as in fairy tales. But these princess mattered less. What was important was the victory of this nice young soldier, the hero. I had goblins and ugly looking dolls that were usually accomplices of the villain. I really miss those good old days. Thanks so much for your response.
God bless you
