Need a good laugh?

I had to laugh. And because I had to laugh I'm sharing my laugh with you. You know how packaging these days is so ridiculous? Of anything really. Toys, batteries, condiments, you name it. Heck, even gum is super-sealed twice anymore! This relates to such careful (i.e. wasteful and frustrating) packaging done by our companies for silly items.

I got a package in the mail the other day. I was judging the size of the box and was racking my brain trying to figure out what the heck I ordered that would be that big. About an 11" square box. It just HAD to be a big item! Maybe my husband surprised me with a big bundle of high quality hand-dyed yarn, or maybe my mom sent me a fun package just for the heck of it...

So I open it...and find...Seriously. That was IT in the box. A 3" long replacement train for Tristan's train set.Are you laughing yet?
