I never thought…
The silk scarf I bought at a street fair on my honeymoon in Paris would be a staple in my kids’ games. It has served as a super hero cape, a baby blanket, a table cloth for tea parties, and everything in between!
My old ratty flip flops would become evening wear for dress up.
The silk purse I bought in Chinatown in San Francisco would get absorbed into the dress up bin and I would never be allowed to use it for myself.
The small hairbrush I used to keep in my evening bags when I went out many years ago would become my daughters’ regular hair brush.
My high school notebook would become a coloring book for my kids.
My Power Puff Girls tin that I used to keep my makeup in when I was a teenager would hold the kids’ crayons.
My stickers that I saved when I was a kid would end up stuck all over the house, put there by my own kids.
My daughter would play with my old barbies, complete with eighties outfits and hairdos (okay, maybe I did think that would happen).
Sophie would take a nap after 6 months of no naps and I could have time for things like blogging again!
To be continued...

Great post! My stickers and notebook have exactly the same uses.
Love this! So true....I wonder what my post like this would contain in a couple of years :) xoxo
I could add: I never thought my 20 month old would take my iPhone and call my friend Barb so many times in a row that she would call back to make sure we were all okay!
