Mama PickPocket

- Exhibit A -
Mama PickPocket has the enviable job of emptying the pockets of dirty laundry produced by four boys. One particular "boy" is known for leaving behind (so to speak!) business cards, Sharpie markers and heavy bolts/nuts/screws. All of which, if missed by Mama, can cause great damage and/or drive our condo neighbors nutso due to clanking nutsoes in the dryer.
(That 42 year old will remain unnamed.)
However, the pocket filler best known, by far, for both the
great quantity and variety of premium pocket loot is...
Mr. Collector himself - Jonathan Paul Mack!
Last week alone, Jonathan managed to find everything in Exhibit A above. The pile grew and grew on the laundry room counter until I just had to document and inventory for historical sake.

Hey Mr. SandMan!

Setting: 2nd row of Honda Odyssey.
Parked at restaurant - heading in for dinner.
Tommy woke up from a deep "vannap."
(Any desperate-for-their-toddler-to-nap-parent knows what that is).
As he rubbed his crusty eyes he started wimpering:
"Mommy! There are sandcastles......on my face!"
Of course, MotherOfTheYear snapped a picture before helping her poor child! Too cute.
