Moxie joined her cousins today in the sacred act of receiving Tucker family hand-me-downs. Clothes, toys, and who knows else what went from me to Sam to Ryan to Helen to Hannah to Ruby and now to Moxie. The first of the treasures is a xylophone and the second a house with a family of armless residents.
I remember these toys. I remember the way the door clicks and the doorbell rings. How the people look nothing like the little sticker family portrait. Sure, Mama No Arms got a facelift and Dad No Arms left his family for his hot twenty something secretary–but the family still runs their household.
