B
When my grandmother spoke of grandchildren and customs, she always said, “Be careful of what you start because then you have to continue.”
She was probably thinking about our birthday bags. It’s our family tradition for each child to get a birthday bag each year. The tradition began at the first birthday of my older brother, her first grandchild. She bought food, clothing, nappies (尿布) and other things needed for a baby. When she spread out all things on the floor, they wouldn’t fit into the present box she had prepared. So she had to use a brown paper bag from the local supermarket.
But the bag didn’t look like a present bag. Sure, it held many items, but it looked more like she’d just come back from grocery shopping. Where was the birthday theme? She turned to my grandfather who was an art teacher and good at drawing. He drew some beautiful pictures of birthday elements in bright colours.
This custom continued through nine grandchildren. Till now we grandchildren still have our birthday bags though we have grown up and get married. We love the bags so much that we keep this tradition in our own families. As my grandmother said, we should be careful of what we started.
