The simple things in life

Sometimes less is more. Case in point, Kade brought home the show-and-tell bucket the other day from pre-school. As he was getting ready to go to school I decided to look in the bucket and see what he was taking for show and tell. This is what I found.

Contents: a pine cone, 3 Nerf darts, and 2 marbles.

We encouraged him to keep the pine cone and to maybe think of something a little more exciting than the darts and marbles. Looking back I kind of regret that decision. Maybe I shouldn't discourage him from thinking these simple things are show-and-tell worthy. Maybe that's the kind of attitude that will help him be content in life instead of having to "keep up with the Joneses". Anyway now that we know he's so easily impressed we'll probably give him a toilet paper roll for Christmas.
