The girls were so excited when they returned from their trip to France that they couldn’t wait to show me all the ancient stuff they found. Zola wanted to sell the stuff they had brought back and invest the money in their future. Rosa, on the other hand, wanted to keep everything so they – as well as all my future children – could always remember that they were my first children to travel to another country.
In the end, I talked them into a compromise. They picked out their favorite pieces to keep and sold the remainder of the stuff. With the money, I was able to buy two large display cases for the girls to put their treasures on.
