| None of this cash payment for Sam! Toys are the thing |
 |
| Junk cupboard has nothing worth saving except the tooth fairy note |
Sam is resolute that I should not give away any of his toys or games. He says he may wish to hand them down to his own children some day. This includes his Star Wars Trivial Pursuit game, which I cautiously suggested we could let go. Sam fears there will be nothing left at the end of a year.
His strategy may not be bad. My co-worker Jeff has been saving the Tonka trucks of his childhood for decades. (Jeff gets to use the real thing in his job as our natural areas manager.) All through college, graduate school, the jobs in between, and the jobs since, Jeff has held onto these toys. Dump truck, tractor, crane, hauler, digger, bulldozer, sturdy mini metal machines, now in the hands of Jeff's two-year-old son.
Some things are worth saving.
