Tim O’Brien wrote a compelling and evocative book depicting the intense experience of marine soldiers fighting in the jungles of Vietnam called The Things They Carried. The book tells the stories of these men by describing the items that they, well…carried. The items range from the sentimental to the gruesome. But, in the end, the picture it paints is both emotional and telling about how the impact of their daily environment had a profound impact on them.
I must need sleep, because the other day, I thought about this book (a book I haven’t read in almost 15 years) while watching my two-year-old walk around the house. Recently, she has taken to carrying an inordinate amount of stuff around with her. This morning, for example, before being lifted out of her crib she insisted on taking with her ALL of the following:
Her blanket
Her sippy cup
Three princess books
A teddy bear
Two necklaces
A cruddy old birthday party goody bad...
