Look at Objects to Stimulate Ideas

A jacket I own always evokes memories of church. The first time I wore it I was helping at church. A friend said, “That’s a nice jacket. Is it new?” I said, “Thanks. Yes, it’s new.” She, then, reached over and grabbed under my arm.

I was astonished and confused that she was grabbing my armpit. Actually, she was grabbing for the price tag that I forgot to remove. Looking at objects will sometimes stimulate memories and stories.

How funny. You probably thought she wanted your new jacket for her self.
