PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The object that makes me remember a special person in my life is a figure of a frog. The special person is my aunt, she collect all king of objects that has to be with frogs figures. She has frogs from all sizes, from the smallest, that it´s a key ring, to the biggest, that is a plush. She has clothe with figure of frogs, an umbrella that has the face of a frog, a bedspread that has a picture of a frog family, decorative garden with the figure of a frog, and inclusive a wellspring that has a frog on the top and from the mouth of the frog it get out water. She starts collecting frogs because when she was a little kid she had the manner to take all the objects with her feet, and in consequence, her favorite brother that it´s my father, started to call her “sapito”. After that, the whole family started to call her “sapito” too. All the family started to give her all kind of frog figures, and because of that she decided to start the collection of the frogs. Nowadays, she has more than 80 frogs in her collection; they are in the entire house, garden, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, etc. Her collection with the frogs is getting bigger. My aunt has two little daughters. They are starting with her mom the collection of frogs. The family saw that the two little girls are following the steps of her mom, and we started to call them the young “sapitos”. They say that they like frogs, and when they see something with a frog figure they wanted to buy it. Besides, my aunt collects frogs and like them, she has feared to the real frogs. She says that they are disgusting and ugly; she wouldn’t have a real frog from pet. This is really confusing because how a person has a collection of something, but doesn’t like it. To our family it is really normal that my aunt take the objects with her feet. Every time we ask to her to pass us some object, she takes the object with her feet and gives the object to the person. It is really nice to saw an object or a figure and remember a person. Every time my family saw a frog we remember my aunt and all the funny stories that we pass with her.
