Answer:
I have some great memories to share but the one I would like to describe is the day when my parents gifted me a doll. I was just 8 years old when I got this beautiful Barbie doll on the day I grabbed first position in the dance competition held in my school.
After receiving that sweet gift, I first went to see all of my friends to tell them about it and introduce it, as my new friend, to all of them. I started calling it by the name itself and this is how that doll became my true friend with whom I used to talk about almost everything; my experiences in school and at home. Furthermore, there was also a small bag I got with the doll from my parents that contained all the attractive accessories and amazing dresses of my Barbie doll. Every day I used to wake up along with my Barbie doll and dress it up with new clothes.
I like this childhood memory a lot since it was quite funny and cute to play with a doll in the way as if it was alive. Considering a toy as a real friend is really heart-touching to me whenever I recall those childhood days and this is why it was one of the sweetest memories I have about my childhood.
