Ammamma was watching some Discovery channel show about Cleopatra last night, and she kept saying the women in those old Egyptian murals had the same golden bangles she got for her wedding. I told her maybe we should check if our old rubber tapping knife has any historical value, and she laughed so hard she forgot to complain about her hip—for ten minutes at least. The pension forms here don’t ask about ancient queens, but I wonder how many poor souls have a grandmother’s jewellery sitting in a steel trunk, never appraised, while the tax office wants its share of everything.
