Pennies in the tape deck

That's the title of the book I will write someday. When I had a vehicle that had a tape deck (not too many of them do anymore), it seemed to be at least once a week, I would try to put in a cassette and find it crammed full of coins. I had a pair of tweezers on the dash just for the occasion. Every time I found myself picking them out, one by one, I smiled and thought, one of these days, I will write a book of all the strange (and frustrating) things the kids have done throughout the years.
It's one of the joys of being a mother, all the little surprises you find hidden throughout the house. it's the rubber snake you rub up against when you crawl into bed, the doll glasses on the deer head, the magnetic letters on the fridge that spell out "Joe is anoing", and the half-eaten apple found shoved in a boot. Looks to be about, what?, two days old? I'm just glad I found it now.
