Play-Dohs, Granddad and myself!

If it so happens that you’re wondering what ‘Play-Doh’ is, fear not of your deprived childhood! I, Kathir, shall enlighten you, for its not too late…you wouldn’t want your kids to end up like you. For starters, here’s a pic….

A modeling clay, in other words…don’t be fooled by its simple packaging, cause your creativity is what counts at the end o the day. Samples here people!

Choo cute! [I know, I know, so unlike kathir right? lol]

Alrighto, back to MY story, as i was saying, Play-Doh, played a Key role as my entertainment during my childhood days, aside from getting badly influenced by watching T.v. Sadly thou, i don’t have pictures of my ‘masterpieces’. But o wait!, i can recall some o the stuff i did with em! They were, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Long neck dinosaurs, Short neck dinosaurs, Dinosaurs….fine….it’s true, i was a dino addict. My influence came from my granddad. He was a unique man, A mix breed between Mike Tyson and a Scientist. Can you imagine Mike Tyson reading/talking about science?

‘You man! Im gonna box you by X=R2D2! argh! aint you afraid your gonna become Xy2=UO9R! Imagine the Red H2O coming out! Rawr!’

Enough crapping…

You can call it a comedy flick, for myself, i can only laugh now when i think about it…lol. That was my grandfather. I still keep one of his science book as a memoir. Oh, i knew how babies came about, like what? age of 7? Mighty thanks to that book! It was that book, which enlighten me on dinosaurs too! [Remind me to show u the book, if you're keen]

Talking bout dinosaurs, the world saw Jurassic park as a Box office hit. I saw the movie as my grandfather’s play-doh creation coming alive. It’s true, both of us, made trips to the fields to pluck ourself some plants, to create a nice habitat for our play-doh dinos.In the movie, when they showed a brachio grabbing lunch from a tree, thats when i remembered all this. Alas, he didn’t live long enough to watch Jurassic park, or maybe he did, through me .

Im gonna miss grandfather, as well as the play-doh lol!

Btw, its, not the colors or the capabilities of the play-doh that triggered me to write this blog. It was actually, that unique smell of the play-doh. Go to the nearest Toy-r-us and smell it for yourself people. You’ll understand.
