“Either tidy your toys, or they all go in a lawn sale.”
“Sell them!” said the defiant six-year-old.
At the end of the sale I let her choose one toy to keep and took the rest to Goodwill. I was surprised at her choice. She let a beloved doll go, seemingly without regret.
The next morning I found her crying, “I miss Molly.”
“Why didn’t you keep her?”
“You said only one thing!”
If she had begged for Molly, I would have relented, but how could she have known?
I pawed through the toys at Goodwill, but Molly was gone.
