    Yep, that’s me. I’ve got art my 30 year old daughter made when she was 2. Not very good art, but art nonetheless.

    I have seen some kitchens where the first thought would be that there might be a refrigerator under all those magnets and paper..

    I found some of mine from 50 years ago. Which is kind of nice, just not ALL of it.

    JOHNNNNN-SON!!

    Yes sir, you trumpeted, sir?

    Johnson, there’s five more days until New Year’s Eve, and you know the alien bug is gonna party like it’s um, um, what’s that song say again, Johnson?

    “It’s… “party like it’s 1999”, sir.

    “Yeah, yeah, that’s the one. So, Johnson, are you gonna be able to keep the bug in-line until then?… because he wasn’t here for the support group scene!

    “Yes sir, I believe we can keep the bug… er, Mr. Bleeb, sober until then, sir.”

    Good Johnson, good! Any more incidents could jeopardize my job as a director here, and if my job is in jeopardy, then your job is in jeopardy!

    “Um, Mr. Bleeb, sir… she wasn’t actually an elf sir, she was in character, wearing an elf costume… and she wasn’t wearing a g-string, either, sir!”

    The best remedy for this is to photograph the artwork, then toss it out. Saves space while preserving memories.

    NO! Save it all, once it’s gone it’s gone. Someone else might have a desire for the work down the road.

    My brother’s solution was to use some of it as gift wrapping paper.

    When we moved, we gave the treasured items back to our kids…..even the picture with half the macaroni fallen off.
