Will Be Rattling Around For A While Longer
(I’m visiting my mom, who’s just dug out some old stuff from the basement. She comes into the room and shows me an old, dented metal rattle.)
Mom: “Oh, look, it’s your old baby rattle!”
Me: “Really?”
Mom: “Yeah. It was mine, too!”
Me: “Cool! Oh, and it’s silver, so–“
Mom: “You could sell it for a bit?”
Me: “What? No! Silver is naturally antiseptic, so it’s good to give to babies. You really think I’d sell it?!”
Mom: “Well, I don’t know…”
(I have few things like that from my childhood, and passing them onto my children or niblings is worth infinitely more than whatever paltry sum I’d be able to sell them for!)
