conuly

For reasons I no longer remember, quite a few years ago I received a coupon for one free package of anything made by Nabisco. I passed it on to a friend, who seemed slightly apologetic when she told me that she had bought the great big package of Oreos for some children she knew whose parents could almost never afford that sort of treat. I thought, and told her, that this was an excellent use of the windfall: it hadn't been part of anyone's household budgeting, and kids should have a treat now and then.
