Geez. I thought my mom was bad. My mom still has my old report cards from elementary. She still has this weird filmstrip recorder thing that doesn't work and an old tv that also doesn't work. She still has the 4 foot tall Oscar the Grouch doll that I stabbed in the neck when I was 7. She still has garden hoses that she hasn't used for the 20 years that she's been living in a townhouse condo. She still has her old barbecue taht looks like a flying saucer. A tennis racket (sans strings) that hasn't been picked up in 20 years. All of our old boardgames (monopoly, payday, IQ2000, michigan rummy, battleship, chinese checkers, connect 4) that will never get played again because us kids are all grown up & out of the house. She has the popsicle stick cabin I made for her in grade 2. She has the air compressor that plugs into a cigarette lighter and a soccer ball to boot, but she doesn't play soccer.
I thought taht was ridiculous. At least my mom's garbage collection is limited to her basement.
