Okay I am officially brainwashed
Our end of the year staff party for the preschool was Monday night. We had to bring a white elephant gift - you know - something funny/weird. We drew numbers and got to pick a bag - or we could take something someone else had already gotten.
Well, my turn came, and I took the 2 packages of toilet paper and wet wipes one of the other teachers had already opened! LOL! There were some really cute and funny things, but I kept thinking - 8 rolls of TP and a box of wet wipes for FREE!
