If you know me, you know that I really try hard to not be a "stuff" person. I try to not talk about things that I want, and I am generally really thankful for the things that we have. I do love to get a cute new doormat when ours gets old, and I do have a wreath for pretty much every season, but I also LOVE to get rid of stuff.
Seth, on the other hand, loves stuff. Specifically he loves getting new-to-him stuff. So, on Saturday we took the kids to my favorite thrift store (I try not to buy retail clothes) to let them pick out Easter outfits (the one holiday I let them pick out something new-to-them to wear). As we were parking I said to the kids "Now, you might find something you love and you might not see anything you love. What if you don't find anything you really like?" and Seth quickly responded "just get something you don't like"! Oh, my. He is truly an American child (and this is one of the reasons I always tell Carey I want to move to a remote farm somewhere and start our own little commune)!
