- tiny wipe-off noteboard (magnet fell off; it's never actually been used because about all I could write on it would be "TO DO")
- bear magnet without its heart (You've had it all along, you just didn't realize it, dear)
- picture frames that keep coming apart (The definition of insanity...)
- two paddle balls, balls disconnected - Is there really a way to fix these or am I setting up my children for severe disappointment?
- fairy with broken wing (Sounds like a sappy 80s song)
- $10 jelly watch (band detached; I really shouldn't be wearing a jelly watch as a grown-up anyway)
- Harry Potter glasses missing a nose cushion
My radio alarm clock should be in there since it doesn't actually turn off properly anymore; I have to hit "SLEEP" five times to get it to shut off. And occasionally I pick up strange music or talk shows, which makes the NPR news decidedly less serious.
At what point does "Stuff to be Fixed" simply become "Sanford & Son Junk"? Is there a space limit? So long as I keep it confined to a small basket on the counter and not an entire room, I think I'm okay. I'm hoping it's really a magical basket and once the items have spent a significant amount of time in there, they will heal themselves.

Are you channeling the spirit of my house today, or what?? Can. not. get.closure. on. any. thing!!! Throw the paddle balls away. That just sounds like trouble. I kept my fairy with a broken wing. They can pretend to send her to the fairy hospital, but I ain't fixin' her. I'm sure I threw her wing away.
My mom has a garden cherub whose head has come off. The head sits in the cherub's lap. She thinks it's whimsical. Unsettling, I say. As long as you never do this, I think it's okay.
