A family came in today to see what I contained. (Leo and Charlie keep claiming that they have something here for the whole family, so now I would get to see what that meant.) The kid looked at a few things but didn't select anything to take out of me. The mom found a basketful of treasures that she was going to trade paper for. The dad found some things that he was willing to have his plastic card examined in order to take the things home.

The child sat in my entry way, playing with the wax in the burning candle. She played with the unburning candle, and the dog. She played with the items that were on sale, putting straw hats on the bears and putting the bears in the candles. Finally she said to her mother, "Mom, let's go. One... Two..."

I've heard the parents do the counting game with children, but this is the first that I've witnessed it being played the other way around. It doesn't seem to work as good this way.
