Sylvia’s Queen of Soul Food Specially Seasoned Black-Eyed Peas, circa 2005
Sylvia makes good canned greens and peas. (“They’re Real Good!) I don’t know why we didn’t eat this, but as it sat in the cabinet, getting older and older, I figured it wasn’t good anymore. I donated it to Lilia’s play kitchen, where it could fall and land on our toes. I should really open it, dump out the peas and recycle the can.

Five pairs of prescription eyeglasses, c. 1990s-2000s
Why save these? I should have donated them to… who is it? The Lions Club? But the frames made of plastic don’t look so good– they have deteriorated. What do I do with them now? Keep ‘em in my dresser 15 more years?

Peter Max Wrangler shorts, circa 1970s. Size 7/8
I don’t know whose shorts these were– maybe my mom or my sister? I haven’t worn a size 7/8 since… well, let’s see… I don’t know if I ever wore that size. And they are probably more like a 5/6 since sizes have increased over the years. I read in a newspaper sometime in the 90s that they might be worth something. This blog shows an unworn pair with tags that sold for $73 on eBay. But how much could these worn shorts be worth? They are even dirty– what is that– mud stains? Who knows. I don’t remember them being dirty when I decided to save them, and they’ve only been in my dresser.

Yellow Stanley hairbrush, 1970s
I’ve had this hairbrush forever. I don’t use it for myself or Lilia. I think a Stanley brush had to be purchased from a door-to-door salesman… The Fuller Brush Man, I suppose.
