MY TEDDY BEAR #LOH 196

avatar

Growing up I and my siblings were not really allowed to go out or play with other children in the compound or neighborhood. We only had a few friends, friends that were hand picked by my parents (the selected few) so there wasn't really any time to play around and have many friends.

Now the question here is,

What was your favorite toy as a child, and why?

Growing up I didn't really have the privilege of using toys yeah it was scarce in my house, based on superstitious beliefs I guess. My grandma once said teddy bears are possessed which may or may not be true, but that aside we weren't really familiar with toys.

Then came this particular opportunity and we all grabbed it with both hands, an opportunity where my uncle(my mum's younger brother) who stays abroad brought toys for us then although he still stays abroad but there was joy in the house amongst us the kids we prayed earnestly that my parents allowed us to use the toys and they obliged. Everyone (kids) in my house got different toys , mine was a teddy bear and at the same time a bag. I was so happy because finally I got to own a teddy bear that is mine and mine alone and it also doubles as a bag.
I was so happy, finally I have a toy or should I say a teddy bear/ bag 😊.
See you tomorrow. Same time, same account, same writer.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. See you soon. 🤗

peace out

Teddy's are so lovely. Yeah, I remember those stories of Dolly's having some kind of evil spirit.. lol. Well, anything thing can be used in the negative if the opportunity is there.

Thanks for sharing

Looks like this thing was a general thing. Superstition and toys. I never experienced it though as my people were very open to toys and gifted me a doll every birthday. I’ve never owned a teddy bear though…🤓 maybe you’ll buy for me

I also heard the dolls superstition; I think they even acted out a Nigerian movie in that regard.
