boy pocket inventory #1

It's happening. All of that stuff I used to read (starting from "Huck Finn") about boys and their pockets is happening right now. Today I am guilty of not doing laundry for a little while. (So? Want to make something of it? The Japanese have created underpants that can be worn for SEVEN DAYS!) OK. Digression. They have also created Good Luck Underwear. And did you know that there's now disposable underwear for travelers? Truly, popgadgets is an interesting blog. They have a newsletter and I just might subscribe. It's NOT all underwear, BTW. You know, philosophically (culturally?) speaking, if you type things like "japanese underwear for seven days" or "Japanese underwear for multiple days" into Google, you get some *very* interesting products. Power underwear for businessmen? OK, OK, enough digression. I told my son that I would only type out what was in his pockets and then we'd go back to playing "robot" in the kitchen, so I have to hurry. - eight "Cariboo" cards, apparently lifted from preschool (sigh) - two rocks: one red and rough, one white and smooth - one bottle cap (totally retro!). Says Bawls Guarana on it? Huh? OK, perhaps not so retro. What happened to Coca Cola? - one seashell - one piece of twistable golden crayon (a terrible investment for a five year old, BTW. He twisted them all out, broke them off at the base, and has carried them around for weeks. Back to old crayons. - a piece of plastic pirate's gold - Some wierd postmodern looking 2.5 inch by 3 inch plastic card with punchouts for... parts of an airplane? - two twisty tops - a small subway map of the Paris subway Does this sound familiar, all you post boys out there? Ah, Boy phenomena. - Kate
