Every day, Miles (and to some extent Caitlynn) come inside carrying "treasures." Right now, Miles has a rust collection (whatever that means), rock collection, bells (sleigh bells), and a few other odd things he's has picked up while playing outside. Basically, if you drop a button or one pops off your pants (does that still happen?), then my boy will surely find it and bring it home.
It isn't that he just picks things up, he also brings them inside to wash -- make these little items all shiny and new again. I'm getting a little tired of cleaning up mud and dirt in the bathroom sink.
So, I wonder...
Does this mean Miles' future career will be that of a junk dealer? You know, those guys in big cities that go through the dumpsters in alleys searching for sellable items? If so, then we may need to invest in a rickety old truck. We laugh, but Joe talked to some of these guys and they actually make a decent living doing this.
As of right now, this is his career track. Are there degree programs for this sort of thing? Bachelor of Science in Scavenging.
Or maybe he's going to make a big sculpture one day with all of his "treasures." I'm sure it will be a masterpiece worth millions.

It's a boy thing Marcy, you're a girl you don't understand. We all went through the same thing as boys and parents. Just be thankful that the bathroom basin isn't full of little cockabullies that die in still water... My Mum had to.

I should have mentioned, Erick's thing was crabs from the mangrove swamp... buckets of them; and they stink.

AV -- it must be a boy's thing but Caitlynn has her own weird collection of stuff. I'm waiting for the day Miles finds a frog or toad and brings that into the house.
