In middle school I was at my cousins, my best bud, my main chickita, my com padre (you get the picture) house for a weekend, and as I went to use the facilities upstairs I found a small round basket and inside was what appeared to be someones used Kleenex and much to my DISBELIEF, a perfectly good book thrown away!
It was a PEANUTS comic strip book...you know Charles Shultz....Chuck, Snoopy, the whole gang. I love those guys. I couldn't believe someone would throw such a treasure away!
I took the book downstairs to see why someone would do such a thing.
My Aunt Sue tossed back her head and laughed.
LAUGHED.
She then informed me the basket was in fact not a trash can but rather a basket for ones reading pleasure if one so needed something to do while using the facilities.
DUH.
Here's the thing,
I did the same thing the next time I stayed there.
HOW COULD I FORGET THAT?
So fast forward to today, and guess what I have in one of our bathrooms?
Yep, a PEANUTS comic strip book for your reading pleasure ...and you can bet it is in a basket that could or could not be mistaken for little trash can.
It's all about the good memories folks.
How do you like that for a rANdOm story to start off your Monday?
