Toddlers and Toys

You ever notice how tightly a toddler can hold on to something? A toy.A cracker.A random stick they found in the yard five minutes ago. You try to take it away and suddenly it becomes the most valuable object on earth. And honestly… adults aren’t always that different. We just trade toys for land.For status.For […]
