Challenging prompt today! This is a children's poem by David L. Harrison. I generally like heirlooms but not excited to inherit Hummel figurines. Anyone remember Hummels? 😀

mom2bugnbee My mother inherited MANY Hummel figurines from her mother, and all of the collectible plates! 3y
LeahBergen Eww, Hummels. 😆 3y
LeahBergen But wait … they‘re not as bad as Precious Moments figurines. 😬 3y

merelybookish @mom2bugnbee Lucky mother! 😜 3y
merelybookish @LeahBergen For sure! Precious Moments are much worse! I actually visited the Precious Moments chapel in southern Missouri once. It was something! 3y
TheSpineView My mother had several Hummels. That brings back memories. 3y
Leftcoastzen My mom has some , too many actually.The sad part is she expects me to have the same love of her collections as she does. I have my own collections to worry about!😁this poem hits home. (edited) 3y
xicanti I inherited all my grandma‘s Hummels! I haven‘t actually looked at them since we packed up her house. 3y
merelybookish @Leftcoastzen My kids will be complaining about my books someday FOR SURE! 😛 3y
merelybookish @xicanti @TheSpineView They we're so popular once upon a time! 3y
TheSpineView @merelybookish Yes!🌞 3y
TheBookHippie Can I send you the ones I‘m inheriting 😂😂🤦🏻♀️ 3y
merelybookish @TheBookHippie No! 😂 3y
TheBookHippie @merelybookish what do we do with them all? They freak my kids out -my daughter, in her 30s, says I better figure out a buhbye place for them. 3y
merelybookish @TheBookHippie No clue. They were expensive back in the day! And now...probably can't give them away. 3y
TheBookHippie @merelybookish right? Maybe the retirement home will like them for decor😂 3y
merelybookish @TheBookHippie 🤞 3y
