Going to the attic to help Grandma find some yarn quickly turned into a distracting trip. Opening the boxes, I wondered why they weren't labelled and found a lot of interesting knick-knacks full of memories. Items like the little toy boat that was my elder brother's, which I used to hide as a kid, or the broken bear clock that used to be cute and adorable but had since stopped ticking with a broken paw. This was my younger sister's birthday gift, but she had carelessly broken it. The stuffed froggy also laid there limp, having lost a lot of its luster.

Here's my opinion on it.
