It's time to grow up...

I came home today after running some errands. When I came back to my room, I nearly had a heart attack to see my bed so empty! Half of my teddies were missing!!

OMG!! MY MOTHER HAD PACKED THEM ALL INTO A BAG!!

You see after years of collecting them (mind you a majority were given to me), I had placed all my babies on my queen sized bed. There are so many of them that my 'real bed' (the one that I actually sleep on) had turned into a single sized bed. My parents, for a long time had wanted to throw them all out and give it to charity as they kept on saying 'I think you're too old for these now.. ' Then I would go into a hysterical fit and finally explaining to them how sentimental they are to me.

Every one of them. From Monkey, Bugs, to Pooh, Smiley, Tiga, Baboo, Sheeba, Pink-gy to Christopher & Elizabeth (collected from my primary school days)!

Now, half of them are missing (predominantly the old ones).

I was horrified to see Cheeky (my forever friend bear that I got for Valentine's one year) suffocating in the bag! NOOOO!! I nearly cried.. well.. ok not really. I was more half laughing at my mother for doing such a thing! She finally had the guts to do it after 6yrs!

I then sat down with mum for a chit chat. I reminded to her how next year, things will truly change. Her little princess will no longer be staying in the 'Vicks' room anymore.. I re-iterated to her just how important it was for me to see all my babies everytime I come home to visit. She promised me she won't throw them away ;)

Man, I think I will cry when that day for me to leave home for good finally happens...
