Odd Signs in Northeastern Maine

Jason in a Box

For my second birthday my Dad made me a cedar toy box.

Yesterday I told Jason how I used to get inside it and hide. He looked at it and said to me: "I bet you could still fit inside." I said, "Yep, probably." He decided to try.
Almost in!
But not quite. It was a little tight!
