Treasure Drawer
The other day my son w
as going through his treasure drawer, a drawer were he keeps all the interesting things he finds. Peeking into my kid’s drawer was like peeking into my childhood. I remember having a cigar box full of my worldly treasures, all of which are gone. But some I remember fondly like a rusty folded soda-bottle cap that I imagined as a robot clam shell, a shiny red rock (I don’t remember where I got it), and a Family Affair watch that stopped working but I imagined controlled a giant robot like Gigantor. But I’m sure similar treasures have been stashed by all boys at one time or another. Here are the contents of my son’s drawer:
a bottle cap,
4 large pine cones,
2 tiny pine cones,
clam shells,
an oyster shell,
a snail shell,
miniture rubber sandals,
a plastic fish,
acorns,
a shiny rock,
a striped rock,
a speckled rock,
a jagged rock,
a piece of coral,
a chunk of concrete,
a left over carnival ticket stub,
a binder clip,
a feather,
a gas BBQ regulator,
a piece of bark,
dried flower petals (may have been fresh at one time),
a plastic bb,
dried seed pods, and
a piece of glass that looks like wrapped hard candy.
