Gudiya has a strange habit. And I'd love to know if any of you dear readers have noticed it with your kids. She puts small things, toys, pins, papers, clips, crayons, pencils, chap stick, blocks and just about anything into small purses, bags, backpacks and such like. I really don't know why she does that. Every couple of weeks, we go through these and take out all the junk in them. And the next week she's back at it.
Is it inherent...as in our ancestors gathered and stored food. Or is it just her personality to collect junk. I hope it's the former.
