Tiny Story: Heaven

Posted on by Shaily Agrawal

In front of their old rundown family farmhouse

9-year old son (incredulously): This is your ‘heaven’?

Father (in a conspiratorial tone): Did you ever jump over a fence, climb a tree, bathe in the river, play in a cave or own a real tree house?

Son (grinning ear-to-ear): When are we moving in?

    1. Thank you! It came from my own desire to share the freedom I had with my daughter. I wasn’t really in a farm, so no swimming or climbing trees. But a carefree childhood without TV and mobile phones, collecting frog spawns, catching fireflies and dragonflies, playing hide and seek, climbing walls to steal roses. 😁

      2. I am sure I can relate to it personally. I had created my entire doll house furniture out if toothpaste and soap boxes. Wrapped in discarded gift wrappers.
