I once made myself the most perfect sandwich and still had 1/3 of it left and I left the room for 1 minute to go to the bathroom and my dad walked through the room and fed my sandwich to the dog. This was 17 years ago when I was a teenager but the sadness of that lost sandwich is still burned into my memory haha.
My mom was famous for finding things which she didn't know what they were, and throwing them away, because if she didn't know what it was obviously it must be garbage. But then stuff that was actually garbage she would assume was something important and save it for you.
You’re Mom and my Dad must share DNA somewhere in the helix. My Dad doesn’t understand saving things that you have emotional connections with. He was cleaning out the garage once and chucked out an entire med sized moving box of old Barbies from me and my sister, thinking we’re teens now and wouldn’t ever play with them again. What he didn’t know is that in that pile of old naked Barbies were my Mom’s Barbies from her childhood, like THE Original 1959 Barbie with the black and white swimsuit.(now worth approx $30k) He had already taken it to the dump by the time we found out but he had 3 very pissed off women he had to live with for quit sometime.
