We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Somebody tried to be nice and prepare activities for Cousin Kara's visit...but which one is the bookworm? The listmaker, or the visitor? My guess is the visitor since all the other activities on offer are noisy and active.
Are kids allowed to play darts these days?
Who wouldn't want to play air hockey?
Creative children should be able to do several of these things at the same time.
This could be the daily check-in sheet for the public library's "summer reading club". Or, it could have been until the budget cuts this summer zeroed out the budget line for the program and they had to send back both the Wii and the X-Box, lose the Dance-Dance-Revolution, cut the electricity to the karaokee machine and the air hockey table. Pretty soon, all they had left was books. And not new ones, either. Staff had been cut. Evening and weekend hours had been whacked. Internet access was cranked back to dial-up access.
Oh, never mind.

Oh, the Gel Pen Club. Each kid got a Pen number. For some reason, I was always Pen number 15, so they'd scrawl Pen15 on my hand... how embarrassing.
My third-grade daughter makes me lists like this all the time. Also, she always has space for me to enter my age and a place to check that I agree to all the terms and conditions.

Quite possibly the most intriguing (and mildly disturbing) entry in the annals of the Hello Kitty Gel Pen Club.
Where did you find this?! This was mine!
