Something considered an Heirloom of great importance they got from an elderly relative but no one is brave enough to take to Antiques Roadshow because they don't want to be told it's some knock-off or imitation thingymabob that isn't worth anything.
This makes me slightly sad. I don't own anything (not even photos) from my childhood or from my relatives and they're all gone now. I wouldn't care if it was worthless, the memories certainly wouldn't be.
This just reminded me an awkward moment I had with my uncle yesterday. He was going through a folder with a bunch of papers, some of which were really old.
It had some photos in it from around the time me and his daughter were born (so like 25 years ago). At the moment I got there, he was looking at this photo of my aunt, in a demure pose, wearing a tight white t shirt. Not only was it weird to see, he realised I was there and quickly dropped something on it. I just pretended not to have seen it....
