Ivory – The soap that floats. These words caught my eye as I was cleaning the bathroom the other day. I rarely pay attention to which brand of bar soap I buy, picking up whatever is cheapest. But lately I seem to be drawn to Ivory. And when I opened the bathroom cabinet to put my cleaning supplies away, I happened to read the tagline on the Ivory package–all of a sudden I was transported back to my childhood.
As a child, I loved to have baths, and nothing was more fun then a bath with “float soap”. Whenever we went shopping, I would demand for my mother buy it. And now I find myself turning more and more towards childhood comforts. I may not have the time to soak in a bath as much as I would like, but I can remember and occasionally indulge.
It’s funny how those little things bring you back to certain places in time. Makes you realise what things are important to kids and what really aren’t.
