Does your child keep seemingly worthless stuff around and treat it like treasure? My daughter does. She has candy wrappers from last Valentine's Day stuffed in her purse. And as a somewhat-defeated clean freak trying to hang onto my last shred of tidiness dignity, it has made me darn near batty knowing she has these in her possession.
The one time I actually attempted to clean up her precious treasures, I was chastised and beaten with the guilty stick for days. It got to the point where I almost believed that I deserved it.
Anyhow, keeping things for longer than they are meant to be treasured seems to be my daughter's forte, but this woman might have her beat.
