My fathers pocket

The challenge at Three Muses this week is the word 'Masculine'.  Whilst considering what to do for this challenge I started to think about my father.  When I was little he would give me pocket money on Saturday morning and then take me to the local shops, usually the toy shop, for me to spend it.
Before we set out he would clear out his pocket so that I could put my precious pocket money in a safe place.

I decided to make a tag for the challenge this week, one that would represent the types of things that my father kept in his pocket.  I don't think it gets any more masculine than that :)

  6. That is masculine indeed! But a nostalgic one. Nowadays their pockets have smartphone and plastic money...
