Standing through time : our old horsie
I don’t know about you but I just feel lots of today’s toys somehow are not built to last very long.
Perhaps it’s because nowadays companies tend to go for cheaper materials and production cost, and hence placing more emphasis on lower overall cost rather than the quality and durability of the products? Hmm.
Anyway, I just thought I’d write about the little horsie we keep at my parent’s home in Jakarta.
See the photos at the top? The one on the left is a picture of my mom’s ELDEST sister, taken sometime in the mid 40’s. And the one on the right is Vai, riding that very SAME horse in December 2007.
The horse is REALLY old.
It was spray-painted some few years ago, but really, for a 60-year old toy horse made of metal, the condition is still excellent!
And getting the little ones in our family to sit on it while the parents take photos of them has sort of become a family tradition. Hehe.
I wonder if it’ll last till Anya and Vai take photos of THEIR kids on it too!
Anyway, if it does last that long, I’ll blog about it then. Hehe. Me, the granny blogger.
