Allergy Mom Dilemma # 3,179

Today's issue: Someone gave the mini a gift. Very thoughtful, only it was a Princess oven bake-type thingie that has product with trace eggs and nuts in it. Why, oh why would you give the mini a real food present? Allow Poker Chick a moment to vent: ARGHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just want to whack my head against a wall!!!!!

OK, now that that's over with, we are faced with just two choices:
1) Say something to the parent (in which case, what?)
2) Say nothing, write a thank-you note, and regift it to someone who has no common link whatsoever.

Thoughts????

The Joy of Giving is Enough

It was great to hear the mini's squeal "YAY!" when she opened her new dolly last night. Of course, that was immediately followed by "hey! Do her clothes come off?" as she rips off the pants, and later, a whole leg.

Kids.
