Cardboard. Can you believe it has been sitting in our attic for years, unnoticed? Our finished attic? Our attic which serves as our tv room, where we have watched a video every Friday night for eleven years? Our attic which serves as a teenage boy crash pad, where one to six boys have slept, played video games, eaten meals, talked and studied for over five years?
As I begin to scrape the bottom of the barrel for stuff to get rid of, I ascended again to the attic. I was shocked to find this there, and remembered how, years ago, when the kids were small and we watched our Friday video when the sky was full of light, we used these sheets of cardboard to block out the sun. How did they become invisible?
The stuff project gives me new eyes.
