That was cute, just plain cute. I wonder if you'd be able to make it rhyme? It just felt like it should. That could just be me, but it seemed to have that sort of flavor.

I loved the fact that you started out with it being old and forgotten, lost in an old attic, bringing out the history of the box and a peek into it's past. It seems it felt alone and forgotten.

Then you bring in a new family and the history is all new and enjoyed by a new generation. That is just perfect symmetry, at least to me. I have to admit, the last line just made me smile big, big time. lol Always back in time for dinner. Good thing, or mom might worry.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
love, LinnAnn
