Collections
I, by nature, am not a hoarder. I hate clutter and most knick knack type things just seem like dust collectors to me. I throw away things that I haven’t used in 6 months. I just don’t keep a lot of stuff around "just because".
Because I don’t keep a lot of things, I am sometimes mystified by my children. Beka has a collection of feathers, coins, rocks, and miscellaneous other things. Jared collects rocks, pokemon cards, bakugan cards, and I am sure some other things. The point is the kids like to keep things around them all the time. They are neat about it so it doesn’t really bother me, but I also don’t understand it. I just don’t get.
Recently, though I had to draw a line at the collections. We were eating fried chicken at supper and at the exact same time both children asked if they could keep their chicken bones. No reason, they didn’t want to DO anything with them. They just wanted to keep them. My answer was "EWWWWW and NO".
