Death of the Easter Bunny

published by Letters_to_Cleo on 4 April, 2011 - 22:06

Fear is such a powerful thing that it can cement every detail of any event into a childs brain.

But first a little back story. I was born in a home where my mum was Christen and my dad was a Muslim. So unlike everyone else i didnt have a normal up bringing, I had an AWESOME ONE!! I got the best of both worlds, Christmas, Easter & Eid!! Which to a child meant more and more and more presents, chocolates and cake (i trust you remember how that turned out).

I'll Cry if I Want To

Hollywood would have us believe that crying is theraputic. And to a certain extent I agree. But its like Freud said, sometimes a tear is just a tear. And sometimes there maybe a thought behind it worth looking at. Either way have tissues ready.

Flashback to ten years ago when I was desparately trying to get my Dad to understand why I was upset with him. What I remember to this day is that moment when Dad told me to 'Stop Crying' which upset me even more and i remember saying something like "I cry, thats what i do. So just listen to what im saying." And low and behold he listened.

What i learnt from that particular experience was

Mums & The Cake Factor (part 2)

published by Letters_to_Cleo on 5 November, 2010 - 16:10

Mum quickly tired of having to keep it out of my reach. So she tried to hide the cake, but I always found it. I mean comeon, im an eight year old, i know where all the hiding places are! So she tried putting the cake on top of the frige, but my freakish climbing abilities soon proved it to be an unsatisfactory solution.

Mums & The Cake Factor (part 1)

published by Letters_to_Cleo on 18 October, 2010 - 11:25

I reeeeealllly love my mum. And i have soooo much respect for her when I think about how much of a NIGHTMARE i was when i was little. The one incident that comes to mind is my big sisters birthday. She'd just turned 19 and my mum had baked her a GORGEOUS cake with thick pink icing which was slathered ontop and a cute horse made out of marshmallows and toothpicks ontop! To an eight year old, it was a thing of wonder... half toy and half cake!!! Ooooooooh the glorious possibilities!!!! Biggrin

Scary Films and Me!

published by Letters_to_Cleo on 20 September, 2010 - 14:30

I was alone at home the other night when i randomly decided to watch a horror film, even though I hadnt watched a horror film in years. For some reason i thought it would be a good idea, on reflection past experience should have taught me otherwise :/ Bcoz after watching a horror film nothing is ever okay...

But on that night, for no particular reason, I felt like I could handle it. And it went a lil something like this.
