“We knew she was a hoarder,” Andrew said.
“I know,” admitted Andrew’s sister, Andrea. “But what’s with all these knit caps? Did you know she collected them?”
“Not a clue,” said Andrew. “And why so many nearly identical ones?”
“Mom lost it after Dad died,” Andrea said. “Cognitively speaking.”
“There are a couple of hundred here,” Andrew estimated.
“We should donate them to Goodwill.”
“No!” protested Andrew. “We should sell them at the holiday ice skating rink downtown. We could probably get around fifteen bucks each.”
“Okay, fine,” said Andrea. “It’s probably the only inheritance we’ll get from Mom, anyway.”

Some blogger’s posts have stopped appearing in my reader. I don’t know why.

Who knows? But I think most people would have donated them to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.

My kids could probably make money too if I’d turn all my yarn into caps or mitten or afghans 🙂
