Toy story
One day, I returned home from work just after 1am to an expectedly silent house as my parents slept. What was unexpected was finding a small plastic leemer from the movie Madagascar on the table. It was a happy meal toy, which is odd as there are no kids in the house.

The next day, I asked where it came from. "I found it in a car park." explained my dad.
"So why did you keep it?" I asked.
"Well I'd would have been crushed!" responded father, as though it was obvious.

My father throws out anything he deems useless, he hates clutter and has a personal motto of "When in doubt, chuck it out." Why did he save the toy?

Probably
...as an aid to teach you how to spell "lemur".

I doubt it, he can't spell and he has never seen me write lemur as that is the first time I've ever written it

he just secretly wanted to play with it? That's rather sweet.
