Holy Re-Gifting!

OK ... So this was hilarious to me. Last week Mimi sent a package full of fun goodies for all. Included was a down throw for Ian. She'd mentioned that they'd gotten it for Christmas, but didn't really have use for it, but perhaps it would be a good size for Ian's toddler bed. Indeed it was.
So ... I was throwing away the platic cover and noticed the gift tag .. and the gift tag under that... and that gift tag under that ... Yes, it turns out that if you start from the beginning with tag #1, that was to someone from "Mom and Dad". Then #2 was to karen from jared and someone ... Then tag #3 was unclear. OK. I'm all for re-gifting, but come on ... Go the extra mile and actually remove the original tag. I thought it was so funny that they each just put another tag on the last. While we'll never know just how many hands have held this throw. We know it started with someone's "Mom and Dad" and ended 5 families later with Ian. I wonder how many "givers" are going to be looking for this thing when they drop on on their recipient. Crazy.

I found that story hilarious!! How tacky to not remove the tag before!!! Hopefully Ian will get some use out of something that so many others are "missing out on"! Love you guys!
