My 12yo has just produced an impressive array of junk out of her dressing gown pockets. Anyone wanna guess? There are 6 objects.

An' I heart Taylor' doodle on a piece of paper
Err, something else TS related?

She is a Swiftie, but nothing TS-related in her pockets. Just the encyclopaedia of lyrics in her head!

Cleaned DD1's blazer pockets out the other day. I'll let the photo speak for itself, however it doesn't show the inside pocket containing two pritt sticks.

What's in my kid's pockets?
PaperDreamsHoney · 20/07/2024 20:19

Still no!

OK, so she had:

A ping pong ball
A lego brick separator
A pompom
A lego Marge Simpson minifigure
A glow in the dark unicorn shape that fell off her bedroom ceiling
And a tiny plastic ziploc bag with 2 spare pairs of rubber tips for her earbuds.

She wears the dressing gown almost constantly so things just collect in the pockets. 🤦‍♀️
