The unbearable weight of being


I stumbled on this poor creature in Mid Valley Megamall. I'm sure the shopkeeper just wants the toy to be free from the molesting hands of eager (but grubby) kids. Maybe a few adults too.

Isn't it a little sad if you had a sign like that taped (nay, clipped!) to you. Especially if your very purpose of existence was to be hugged/cuddled!

I brought that up to D, a friend that was with me at this sighting. She made an interesting comment though. What if the poor toy didn't want all that attention anyway? It could've wished it was made of rocks instead! Sharp ones preferably.

A haptophobic soft-toy. There's a thought.

(..or the owner of the store is REALLY good, and that sign was INTENDED to inspire pity. Some other person might have already liberated it for all i know!)
