I would like to talk about the toy that I really loved when I was child. It was a small remote control car. I got it from my father as a birthday gift when I was about 8 years old. I still remember that day because I had been asking for it for a long time. It was red and quite fast for a toy. I used to play with it almost every day, especially after school. I would race it around the house and the yard and sometimes even with my friends. It was really fun and exciting. What I liked most was that it made me feel independent because I could control it and do different tricks. Also it helped me to spend less time watching TV and more time being active. I tried to fix it when it stopped working which made me feel curious how about things work. When I first got this toy I felt extremely happy and excited. It was almost the best gifts I had ever received. Even though when I think about it, it brings back a lot of childhood memories.
