They gotta remember.... we are human beings too and the stuff you send, we use in our leisure time so we are going to want something to enjoy. I'm not saying I'm not grateful, but the excitement of opening a box to find burnt animal crackers and 2 cans of foot powder just isn't there....
The cards are cool..... but after 30 kids send you letters asking you to be a penpal, you lose track of who is who. I feel obligated to write back because these kids look up to us. But thanks for thinking of us!
If anyone wants to know what to put in a good care package.... GOOD towels... bed sheets.... GOOD shaving gel... and GOOD cookies (i.e. Soft Batch or anything along those lines) No no's.... Pringles or any potato chips.... they end up like dust... any food combined in the same package with soap or shampoo.... the food ends up tasting like soap or shampoo.
Once again... thanks everyone for all the thoughts about us. We DO appreciate it.
Fine for that my next care package to you ill put the foot powder on the animal crackers then burn them.
