Lost Treasure!

Meethi was babysitting her next door toddler. She picked up few curios from around the house to entertain him. After play time, Meethi indulgently lets the boy carry one of them home.

But all hell broke lose when Meethi’s husband returned back home and saw it missing. He declared that it wasn’t just a curio -  he had jealously safeguarded it all his life! He demanded that she goes pronto to neighbours house and bring back his “lost treasure”!

Meethi rolled her eyes as she presented her husband’s “lost treasure” back to him – a toy car from his school days!!!.

This is NON FICTIOUS piece written in repsonse to 100 Words on Saturday prompt of "Lost Treasure" At Writetribe. No prizes for guessing who the character Meethi is sketched after! Here is one of hubbs many "treasures" that he refuses to part with!

  8. I can totally empathize. We have two kids at home too. The older one is very touchy about his car collection, the younger one does not realize that we have one. When he grows up a little, I want to see how they fight for miniature cars. The older one is my husband and the younger one is my son, by the way. When we go to toy stores for buying something for our son, my husband also checks out remote controlled helicopters and cars. So, I need to check who are we buying the toy for ha ha
