What's Up With Loot Bags That Cost More...

...Than The Present My Kid Brought?

Remember when
Birthday Party Loot Bags
were a bunch of junk
and a handful of candy
in a brown paper bag?

Remember how
many parties
didn't even have loot bags?

They came home from the parties today with
action figures,
and dinosaur eggs that hatch in water,
lip gloss,
and bubble bath,
ring pops,
and Kinder Surprises,
popcorn buckets,
pin ball games,
sports toys,
barettes,
headbands,
candy,
and more
all in a medium size gift bag.
Not a Loot Bag bag,
a Gift Bag bag.

The Twin Pack
12-Shot
Nerf Gun
Blaster Set
that I found on sale
is not looking as
great as it did
yesterday when we bought
and Dallin said, "Wow!"
and this morning when we wrapped it
and Chas said,
"I wish it were for me."

Could we all scale back on the loot bags, please?
