Is it Just Me, or Am I CRAZY?!?
So Emma's teacher sent an email last week asking for "bite sized" treats to sell at lunch to help support the school. Now I think this kind of stuff is a waste of time, but Emma has gotten a ton of pressure from her friends about participating in this stuff so I obliged. I bought cute little star cup cake tins and broke out a box of brownie mix and got to work. She was asked to bring 12 but I sent her with 18. They were sold for 1mil each. ONE MIL! This is the equivalent of 22 cents. Totalling a whopping 3.88 (because she ate one) that was raised for the school that day. Now I'm pretty sure that box of brownies cost me about $3, and once I put in the cost for powdered sugar, plates and baggies to sell I think they may have taken a loss. I asked next time can't I just send $5 and not have to make anything? Nope, if we do that I'm not considered a team player. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?

I'm not crazy YOU'RE crazy!
ReplyDeleteIs it wrong that this story makes me laugh?
Oh my goodness!! You have got to be kidding me!! Here when they have a bake sale they don't sale anything less than 5NIS which is about $2. I always thought it crazy that not only am I supposed to bake something, well actually 3 things - one for each child - but then I am expected to send them each with money to buy a ridiculously overpriced item!
