Everything is a clue, a treasure or a tool
My son is constantly picking up things that he finds on the ground, as we’re walking anywhere. Everything that he finds can be categorized as a clue, a treasure or a tool. And, everything that he picks up must be carried home with us or put in my pocket, unless I can convince him otherwise.
A beautiful rock or nut? It’s a treasure!
A scrap of paper or piece of discarded fabric? A clue!
A stick or a cool shaped piece of plastic? It will be used to build the greatest device or fort known to man!
I was just in the bathroom, here at work & there was a folded up, dirty piece of paper on the ground. It obviously had writing on the inside.
I walked past it on my way into the stall, but, as I was washing my hands, with no one else there in the bathroom, I just felt that I needed to see what it was. So, I picked it up & unfolded it. It was half of someone’s shopping list. 
I put it in the garbage :shrug:
But, I’m still thankful to him that he’s given me this curiousity & wonder back. :hug:
