One day my little boy brought home a cute blue stuffed elephant. He slugged, pampered, sang songs to it, expressing all his affections dearly.
I watched him, then stared at the stuffed elephant. It was a rare moment that I became very attached to my son's toy at the first sight. Suddenly I really wanted to hug the elephant as well.
Since it was his sleep accompany, I didn't ask him to share.
After a couple of days, my son asked me whether I wanted to have the elephant or not. Taken by surprise, I complied with delight.
When I touched the elephant, I couldn't help holding it directly to my heart. This cute little thing brought out all the tender feelings deep inside ......
Sometimes it makes me laugh and smile, sometimes I feel ache and it brings tears to me.
Somehow, it seems that I can see the shadow of someone on it.
Is it the general reason why kids/people get so attached to certain things???
I wonder ......
