With apologies to all the lonely toys in all those roomy bins costing all that hard-earned money

Recent toys:
- A surgical glove filled with water at tied at the end. A smiley face drawn on it in permanent marker. Likes to take naps on the couch. Mommie must constantly lower her music. It's a light sleeper.
- A 16-oz water bottle found on the playground, washed and filled. Usually wrapped in a blankie (every towel is missing from both bathrooms). Known around our house as Junior (as in "Junior is missing!" ... "Shh! Junior is sleeping!") On one occasion, offered to thirsty daddy who was playing soccer. Daddy was only mildly angry upon learning the origin of the bottle (after the fact).
- An empty spice jar, washed and filled with water. Known around our house as Jr. Junior. Not nearly as popular as Junior, but the fault lies with Mom who keeps buying 8-oz water bottles, so both kids can't claim Junior as their own. Sharing does not work too well, so Mom devised said Jr. Junior. Not the same effect, sadly.
- A rubber light green glove with soft spikes around the top. Worn alone (Michael Jackson style) day or night. Dusty, dirty and yucky, it was still loved and admired by all on the playground. Until one day, it got lost on the bottom of the garbage can. Under a lot of other stuff. Never to be found. We still wonder what happened to it.
