Contraband

Remember when you were young and you had things you hid from your parents?

I would present to you a concept to ponder- what constitutes contraband for a six-year-old- except that I already know the answer to the question.

I spent four hours cleaning Noah's room today. I mean, REALLY cleaning it. I sifted through every tiny Lego, Lego accessory, Stars Wars ship, figure, accessory, K*Nex, clothing.. EVERY TINY THING.

When I was finished purging, organizing and rearranging his room, I vacuumed his floor and changed his sheets. Wedged between the mattress and the corner of his bed, slightly under his mattress, I found the following:

His Lego MP3 player, an opened(empty) wrapper of M&M's, a full unopened wrapper of M&M's, Lego Clone Trooper, Lego Luke Skywalker and Star Wars figure Commander Cody.
