"Grandad, look what I found!"

He has his own apartment now but then he was about four or five years old.  He was staying at our house.  


One day, he said,"Grandad, look what I found!"  I can't remember what the item was but I do remember that it was an object

  1. That we left out to look at or use

  2. We had purposely done so


I was surprised at his sense of discovery and puzzled at how to best explain it wasn't much of a discovery.  I realized that for him, it was a fine find but that we couldn't share his pleasure or excitement.
