Toys, Humans, and Control

This is a story about stuff-that-repeats-over-and-over-and-over-

and-over-and-over-again. It is about toys, hoomans humans, and control. I’m going to write about something parents don’t admit to being correct very often. Just to be clear, my name is Ava, and I am 7 years old, so don’t be a meanie about my writing spelling. Let’s start at the beginning of this circle rotation with toys. Favorite toys have more power over normal toys because they are played with much more than the normal ones. My friends and I (the todler toddlers) have more power over any and all toys; we can play with them however we want too to. Now, older siblings have powa power over all the toys and their younger siblings. They have power over the toddler because they are older and are “wiser”; they have power over toys because they have power over their sibling. The one at the tippy-top of this mighty line of power is…. drum roll, please…. parents. Wow, big surprise there, parents always seem to be on top of everything. This might seem a little confusing, so I draw drew this drawing to help you understand:

This is not the end of the rotation, because this is just a line. We need to connect this line to make it a circle. The last part of this would be the toys and the parents. Now, this isn’t always fact true but you’d be shocked how often it happens. Parents stepping on their kids’ toys. You’d be surprised how many times adults come into my room and say, “Hey Ava,” *they step on the toy* “OUWWW!!! Stupid lego (or whatever they stepped on).” The funny thing is, half the time I don’t even think remember putting it there. It’s like the toy moved just to be in that spot, and just so that that specific grown-up would step on it. Now, don’t get me wrong, I know this isn’t the a normal type of power, like ruling a place, but I consider it a power.
