In the box, there is a package made of brown paper which reminded me of those used by tailors, with some drawings pasted on it. Apparently, the package was damaged during transit, and some kind soul at the post office placed it in a box to keep it from further damage.
We opened the package, it contained more drawings, and ... a Totoro floor mat! I was very surprised and elated, my favourite cartoon character! Now I got more company at home. :b
Looking at the drawings, we were pretty amused and touched by it. I had a chance to get more details from the eldest nephew one night.
These were drawn by the eldest nephew. There were animals, a song, a b'day card...
And this drawing too:
He's the boy in blue and me in red.
"What is the blue thing?" I asked.
"Its a sofa"
"Why is the sofa here?"
"Because I have no space so I draw sofa."
I smiled.
"Then why am I in a red dress?", I asked. I never wore like this before.
"I have no other colours", he explained.
I smiled again.
His younger brother also drew one:
"Why are there 4 people here?" I continued to ask the same nephew.
"It's me and didi, and you and gu zhang (CH)"
He continued: "Didi says we are all in the garden".
Its fascinating to see how kids view us from their perpective. I think I looked slim in both, and pretty too. :b I should ask the younger one why our hands are stretched out. I think I would have a good answer.
Thanks everyone for doing all these! It really brightened our days up!
