a use for everything

Baba taped our broken shoe rack. Anne stabilized the bird stand with some more tape. Anne and Baba are resourceful that way. I found a pin stuck in the couch. I pulled it out and put it on the coffee table. I figured Anne stuck it there while she was hemming her pants. Baba sheepishly admitted that he put it there. I shrugged, but later saw he had stuck the same pin in his shirt. I offered to take it, not wanting him to poke himself, but he wanted to keep it. He was using it as a toothpick.
