Busy moms have to tidy quickly. Sometimes to get from one lesson to another, or to get from one place to another without stopping to fret about where things go, things end up in our pockets. (Now here's what is in my head..."What has it got in its pocketses?" Name that tale.) I just got home from a school-lunch-more school-choir-swim lessons-library-choir meeting kind of a day and had a chance to empty my pockets.
Ten Things I Found in My Pocket at the End of a Very Long Day, or What Has It Got in Its Pocketses?

Seven numbers, a scrap of paper with a phone number that I needed to call but didn't because I forgot that I'd put the number in my pocket.
Eight coins, a quarter, four pennies, two dimes and a nickel.
Nine...I got nothin'. I don't have nine of anything. In all honesty, some of these other numbers didn't work out quite that neatly either. I had one dime, not two, and only three pennies. I really did have three pointy pattern blocks, though.

I also had an acorn and my library card.
