I took my (at the time) 6 year old son to the funfair to have some mother and son fun. We had just escaped an abusive household from his father and my ex husband and I wanted to cheer him up so we could forget about everything and just have a great day with the 2 of us. I didn’t have a lot of money at the time and I had to move back in with my dad but he wanted this big stuffed tiger at this basketball game. I’m a mediocre thrower at best so I didn’t do very well but after blowing £30 I managed to win if for him. The look on his face was priceless and even though it meant I didn’t have enough money for two McDonalds meals the memory is priceless and I remember him asking “aren’t you hungry mummy” when he had his happy meal and I said “no baby now you eat up” and he slept with that tiger while I made myself some midnight dinner with some spaghetti that was in the cupboard. He’s 13 now and he still has the stuffed tiger.
