Donuts

Dear Jack,

Sometimes in life, you spend more money on a thing than you can explain.

Like, maybe knitted donuts.

I'm just saying that splurging that way is okay every now and then. Especially if it's someone else's money you are splurging with.

Thanks Grandpa and Nana Nolen.

Love,
Mom

  2. Well,

    1) enjoy the pretty
    2) support workers in Bangladesh under the Fair Trade policy of paying "the indigenous workers of _____" fair wages for their hand crafted works
    3) let Jack chew on them, mostly
    4) assuming Jack has no interest in them, let Sydney add them to her play kitchen
    5) assuming Sydney also has no interest, put them on a shelf to remind me of the good days before I broke up with the Shipley's girl who served me hot, fresh donuts almost every morning (except Tuesdays, she was off Tuesdays) during my pregnancy with Jack
    6) when I get tired of that, sell them on Craigslist with one of those "original price was X, so you'll get these for a steal at Y" tags
    7) but mostly just hope that the kids think they are as neat as I do

  4. Thanks for getting it, Kim!

    Each donut is slightly bigger than the palm of my hand.
