回答问题,
My children are growing up fast. My daughter is 16 and my boy is already in junior high school. As they get bigger our house seems to get smaller. So we want to sell some of our things in a yard sale and give the mony to a children’s home.
We have already cleaned out a lot of things from our bedrooms. We have decided to each sell five things that we no longer use. My son was quite sad at first. Although he has not played with his old toys for a long time, he still wanted to keep them. for example, he has owned a train and a railway set since his fourth birthday, and he played with it almost every week until he was seven. And he didn’t want to lose his toy monkey,either. He slept next to the monkey every night when he was a child. My daughter was more understanding, although she also felt sad to part with certain toys.
As for me, I didn’t want to give up my football shirts, but, to be honest, I have not played for a while now. I am getting older,too.
