The box is in the dining room because, when we took down our Christmas decorations three months ago, I decided to leave this one box out so I could put away the last of the Christmas towels after they went through the laundry. Leaving that box in the corner of the dining room made complete sense. Now, it’s April, and that box has been in the dining room for so long that, at first glance, my brain doesn’t register that it is not supposed to be there.
