Oh my!
Today was Alan's birthday. I went out tonight to finally discard our ancient
kitchen trashcan by the dumpster. I spotted a huge bag of stuffed animals
behind the dumpster, so I brought it in to check it out. Some of it was
junk - birthday cards, crayons, girl toys, toys with missing or broken
parts - but we got 5 or so large stuffed animals (including a dog that takes
batteries, but it didn't work), quite a few happy meal toys: Mr. Incredible,
a few "the cat" or "the dogs" one yellow bug from lion king, and one of the
activision games as well as 2 neopets. We also found a buzz lightyear (sans
helmet) and a Mike the monster (the green one). There might have been a few
more things but I couldn't identify them. I also found extra post it notes
and a perfectly good mechanical pencil. So I went to take it back out and
found a few books on the ground also: Barney, an old nickelodeon show golden
book, and 2 Sid Hoff books. (There was a bible and santa claus book also -
no use for those). My best guess is that the toys etc belonged to the
visiting granddaughter of a couple in our building - perhaps mom tossed them
out here, so she wouldn't find them, or the grandparents were condo
cleaning. It was strange to see it all tossed out though.
