Weighing the Bone File

Yesterday, as promised, I weighed the Bone File, it wieghs 4.4lb or just over 2 kg and it travels to school on the bus with Jacob everyday.  Here is a picture of them on Friday morning.


I'm not entirely sure what it is or what it is for.  It has developed from a handful of crumpled bits of paper, to a cardboard divider file with lots of pieces of paper taped into it and string up the sides in a green bag.  Its latest incarnation is this rather more robust and waterproof file that Santa brought.  I asked Jacob for a short synopsis or list in order to enlighten you as to the contents and here it is:
  • Bone Collecting (hereafter known as BC) story, inc. artwork
  • BC card game (Clue)
  • BC card game (bonemon)
  • BC Mansion plans
  • BC alphaboxes
  • BC trials eg. BC time trial
  • Group, pocket, bus, home points
  • bus, home, points, lives
  • Bone rarerness
  • BC anual colours
  • BCVGS (video games system) website
  • BC belts
  • BC bills
  • BC comics
  • Cop information
  • BC drawing and diagrams
  • Explosion party
  • Enemy information
  • Power-ups
  • Maps
  • Minus Land
  • Membership pyramids
  • Symbols
  • Store
  • Threats
  • Video game planning
  • Website planning
  • White screen information
It is all linked up to a game they play at recess where everyone is a dog or cat, they live in a 'doggie den' and collect sticks or 'bones'.  Its great that he has lots of people to play this game with and it keeps him busy out of school time doing paperwork, but the best thing is the load bearing exercise he is getting lugging the file about everywhere.
