Describe an item you were incredibly attached to as a youth. What became of it?

Since my childhood, I have felt attached to books. I have always been a fervent reader. And I hardly part with my books. There were three times I made an exception and lent a book to friends, but I never got them back. A lesson learned by mistake, therefore, I never give any book away.

Speaking of a specific item, when I was a kid, I begged for a Nintendo Game Boy. I had to wait almost a year until I got it as a Christmas gift. Despite that, I had to share that Game Boy, because even though I was nine years younger than my brother, he also got hooked on the Nintendo Game Boy. So, there were many fights between us, and a competition. Tetris was our favorite game, and we tried to outdo each other.

Well, what happened to the Game Boy? Let’s say it this way: I grew faster than my brother.
