very old pukey lego
My kids loved lego, as did I. Now I'd had a fairly deprived childhood and didn't have any to hand on to the kids but their ma, on the other hand, had had wealthy parents who had bought loads of the stuff. So suddenly my kids had a veritable mountain of rather old lego, with all sorts of funky technic stuff.
The only problem was that it smelled, well, of puke basically. It turned out that when he was 4 the kid's uncle had puked directly into the big box of lego.

They'd attempted to clean it but it still smelled bad, nigh on 25 years later. I washed it all up with the aid of a toothbrush and it was fine. I was gutted to hear that not long after we split, my ex charity shopped the lot of it, along with the fairly large amount we'd bought since... I mean my youngest was 13 by then but surely you can't really grow out of lego? I know I haven't!

I'm perfectly certain that the fact your marriage failed and the fact you never grew out of a childhood toy are completely unrelated.
