My Grandma’s Frog Collection
My grandma have this huge frogs collection, she has them before I was born and in her collection you can find all this types of frogs, some are made of plastic, porcelain, glass, even she used to have one that was mummified. Since I have memory, I remembered my grandma telling me and my cousins that we can´t ever played with her collection but we didn´t follow this rule, we played with them every time we can, even if we knew that she was going a get really mad if we broke one, so we were really careful, but sometimes we weren’t enough, because we broke a lot of frogs. Because we were kids, we didn’t know what to do with the broken frogs, so we hide them under the couch thinking that my grandma will never notice, but when the cleaning lady found out, she always told to my grandma each time she found one. The punished was that if we broke one frog, we need to give her another, so every time I and my family went to a holiday trip, we always bring a souvenir frog for her replacing the one we broke. Now when I go to my grandma’s house I still see the old frogs which I used to played, it is strange because I can remember almost all the frogs, for example, she still have a little frog wearing a hat who is sitting in a canoe and its fishing, I always played with that frog, it was my favorite. Now me and my cousins grew up, we stop playing with the frog collection, but the new generations are the ones who are playing with those frogs. Now I have to little cousins and one nephew and every time they can, they played with them, actually it is really funny, cause the last time I went to my grandma’s she told me that they are doing exactly the same that I used to do with my cousins, they hide the frogs under the couch. Now when I see a frog it remembers me my grandma and when I have a chance I still buy souvenir frogs to her, the last trip I made was to Guanajuato, I didn´t know that Guanajuato means City of Frogs, I bought a little frog that is wearing a helmet like a miner, I can’t wait to see her and give it to her
