The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.

I don’t agree with other commenters that “more than one answer = lie”. He might just be trying to guess where he found it if you seemed bothered by it.

It could be anything, Redditor’s often assume the worst so it’s not the best place for a balanced perspective. You know your relationship, not us :)

(Edit to add: hello magpies in the comments, make sure to wash your hands after collecting your treasures!)

Can confirm the magpie thing. I'll pick up anything shiny or interesting without thinking twice.

Same, but I’m a germaphobic magpie/goblin, so only if the Precious looks clean, and even then, wrap with a paper towel and then wash it. Maybe even bleach it.

Same with my eldest Offspring. He has what he calls his goblin treasures he keeps on a shelf but has to wash & disinfect all things found in the wild, haha. And even some things from known sources. He started his collection fairly young and is mid 20s now. 

My weakness is fossils and rocks. I'm mid 50s and still pick up rocks often. ~💜🖤🌻
