So you can remember me

The kids like to give me things when I leave in the morning so that I can remember them. Usually it's small stuff. Josh likes to give me Pokemon cards, marbles, or colored pencils. Sometimes he just picks up something from the ground like a rock or a stick. This morning I got a rock. Josie used to give me stuffed animals and small pieces of food. Every once in a while she still gives me a note or a piece of jewelry.


This morning Isaac wanted in on the fun, so he ran to the neighbors house, grabbed the newspaper from his driveway, and handed it to me through my car window as I was leaving. He said, "Here, Papa!" He was so pleased with himself. I didn't have the heart to tell him to put it back.
