What things will shock/amuse your kids when they go through your "stuff"

when you pass on?

I was watching the news today about Dennis Rodman & Kim Jun Un and I remembered the Dennis Rodman Bridal Doll I once bought for my son and only recently discovered in a closet.. He's now 34, so I doubt that he would find it a clever stocking stuffer (what I had planned it to be)

I'm sure there is more that they will look at and say WTF??

I own a red wool jacket with huge shoulder pads and a peplin flouce...English horseback riding meets Dynasty.

I also have a black leather jacket a la Michael Jackson (I must've lost the glittery sox along the way.) My cousin, who works in fashion in NYC, was absolutely delighted to discover my "vintage" stuff. Personally, I think it's all hideous, but I might be able to sell it on Ebay one day!

... my daughter thinks I am basically a chubby nun, so when she gets a hint of what I was like in my 20's she's going to be surprised.

Including a copy of "A Child's Garden of Grass" with a marijuana leaf taped inside the cover.


ETA - The leaf was there when I bought the book. Honest. I swear.

It goes with my copy of "The Hog Farm and Friends" by Wavy Gravy (with foreword by Ken Kesey.

I don't know how I missed it. Maybe I was spending too much time listening to Firesign Theatre.

I already purged letters referring to my dating days after husband #2 left. There is that copy of Joy of Sex in my lingerie drawer -- just what would one do with that? I can't put it in the goodwill box, or the recycle container or in the general garbage. Probably will leave it there for them to giggle over when I'm gone.

I bought it at a used book store in 1966. Any suggestions from the Lounge? LOL
