Life of Wry

I was straightening a few things in Peter’s room (I admit I do this not infrequently), and as I was reorganizing the blankets on his bed (not really making it) something hit the wood floor with a thud, between the bed and the wall.  This is a big, heavy, difficult-to-move loft-like bed, so if something falls into this space, it is not easily retrieved. Which is how–when I did manage to move the bed far enough away from the wall–I came to discover the trove of treasures pictured here.

Here’s an idea… we could do that memory game where you study the picture for 30 seconds, then look away, then try, without looking, to identify as many objects as you can.

Just for fun.

Here is your checklist, in case you want to play along:

Long lost iPod Touch **

Long lost camera **

Rubber bouncy ball

Heavy iron pot hanger purchased on a field trip to the gold country in 4th or 5th grade

Set of Bucky Balls (Google these, they’re amazing. Then get some.)

Drum stick

Rhythm stick

Baseball player’s fashion necklace

Green fashion plastic bracelet

Rubber snake

Suction dart

Dime

Pencil

Pen

Broken ruler

Tennis ball

Flashlight

Wooden block

Part of a saxophone

Musical-note-shaped hole punch

 

Good luck!

** Actually, most of these items are in the “long lost” category, so I’ll stop with that.
