Putting Away Childish Things

I walked past this on the table.  I stopped and studied the items.  They are the contents Max emptied from his pockets.

Hmm.  Made me a bit wistful for the boy whose pockets used to contain acorns and rocks and rubberband ammo.  And made me a bit proud that, aside from the Sharpie, everything here was purchased with his own hard-earned money.

"When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child,

reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things."
