I used to love playing on the carpet at the base of the large double glass doors leading out to the patio. One day, I discovered some large coins directly at the bottom of the long white drapes hanging over the clear bright windows. The dark shadows of the coins made me think they were worth plenty. It wasn't until high school that I finally decided (against my mother's wishes) to carefully disect one of those curtain seams and find out for sure just how much money was hidden at every curtain intersection. To my utter dismay, I encountered only large heavy plug nickles to add to my other list of relevant childhood treasures. To be sure, they didn't redeem for what I had encountered at the stored wand of belief.
However, I was delighted to cut open a tube of Stripe toothpaste to encounter just how the stripes emerged all from the same opening of the tube.!! That was pure delight.
