1. Pig - A large ceramic pig that found me at Value Village.
2. Ukulele - So my Tutu (Hawaiian for grandma) can teach me to play it in the afterlife, which will presumably take place on a white sandy beach.
3. Pillow Case - Stolen from a club in a state of impaired judgment. Carries fond memories...and a kind of freaky stain.
4. Ancestral Beer Bottle - Yeah, I'm related to that guy on the beer bottle (William Naukana, first Hawaiian settler on Saltspring Island and rumored royal descendant).
5. Fancy Pants Tea Cup (and Twinings Lady Grey tea bag) - The cup is part of a collection from my Nana. Symbolic of my deep love of tea and dainty china.
6. Family Jewels - Inherited sparkly things so future people will think I'm more important than I am.
7. Set of Keys - Because I can't find their owner, and for some reason can't get rid of them.
8. Deck of Cards - I like card games, and also might want to pass the time with solitaire in the afterlife.
9. Tibetan Singing Bowl - Because it's neat and I like it.
10. Decorative Owls - (see #9)
11. Vintage Clock and Opal Necklace - I wear it a lot, and I like it a lot, and it shows that I was stylish and on time.
12. Croquet Mallet - Because I like a good croquet match.
13. On the Road by Jack Kerouac - Like lots of my other grave goods, I wouldn't expect this to last many years underground, but it's beloved by me and was gifted to me by a friend.
14. Zinger Head Massager - THE MOST AMAZING THING EVER. The archaeologists who excavate my grave will really appreciate it.
When I read your list of grave goods I cannot help but think of the Motel of Mysteries, I wonder how archaeologists of the future will interpret all these awesome, personal items... that is if your sacred tomb is disturbed and excavated.
ReplyDeleteI have a zinger head massager! It's awesome. (Mental note: add head massager to grave goods)
ReplyDeleteI love that you pulled these things together and included a photo. It goes right to what we were talking about with the qualities of a good blog. A bit of variety in format. :-)
