The Jar of Loose Buttons
Every button in the jar on the dresser fell off something, and if you hold one up to the light your grandparent's whole day comes back around you: a dance hall, a fishing boat, the first coat they ever bought. The child works out the catch too late, that a button which has been used crumbles to dust and its day can never be visited again. With one plain button left they have to choose between a famous family day they have heard about all their life and this ordinary afternoon at the kitchen table, and they put the button down and sit and listen instead.
