Dear Humans,

My favorite Thanksgiving activity is playing board games with my family. And though it’s fun to play (and even more fun to win), my favorite part is putting the game back in the box when it’s over.

In real life, things don’t often fit in their original boxes. They grow, change, and get messy. So it’s nice when all the pieces have their own baggies, the dice have their own little cutouts, and the board precisely folds and perfectly fits in the box.

Especially since you’ve just been immersed in an imaginary world where your every thought was focused on carrying out a winning (or losing) strategy. And then that whole world gets packed in a box, put on a shelf, and forgotten.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
