What Did Your Parents Give You?
36 Answers
Materially, almost nothing. They had very little, and were quite happy with it.
I couldn’t live up to their honesty and integrity, although in later life I’ve tried.
Mum gave us a small rose bush, which she claimed had come from her mother’s house in Kilburn in the 1880s. One of her stories, we thought, until years later looking at that house on Google Maps, we were delighted to see the tiny front garden a riot of roses - pink, just like the one which still blooms in our patch.
So much joy in small things.

But remember my mother bought me a beautiful boy doll for one Christmas and the following year - she glued a girl's wig with two pig tails and a dress. She thought she fooled me. But we had to be happy LOL
