Day 5: 4 pair of broken kiddos sunglasses

One of AB's grandmothers gave her a party favor pack of heart sunglasses. It was very thoughtful. There of course was enough for AB to play with and share with her LMNOP friends as they were playing dress up. One of my more rough clients who is no longer with us, found pleasure in over extending the glasses and watching the pieces pop apart. It was of course just to get a reaction out of her and a reaction he sure did get. (by the way, he is no longer a client)

So I held on to these for a number of reasons. Number 1 it came from a grandmother, which makes anything more special. Number 2 it was "stolen" from her by a not so pleasant little boy that I subjected AB to by having him as a client in my daycare. Number 3 I was sure I could repair it for her since I felt so guilty.

Ok, it has been in our sock drawer for two months now. She hasn't asked for them. I am sure it was a 4 for a dollar pack. AND I am sure her grandmother got it on a discount and paid less than a dollar. I'm taking my sock drawer back! Good bye broken sunglasses. Good bye guilt that I feel when I see these. Hello to new memories when we play dress up!
