'Today I skated across the ice.'

I've decided to do some massive spring cleaning. Almost everything that I haven't used since I went to University is getting pitched. However, my great plan has a weak spot. My mother, who has recently told me that I'm cold and heartless. She has me putting all of my garbage in a pile, so that she can dig through and salvage anything that she deems to be of emotional value. As a result, she now owns sticker books and a variety of skating badges and ribbons.
