(the poll refers back to yesterday's post. I'll take it down at the end of today. Looks like I should do the right thing, not the fun thing. :) )
I have written about freecycle before. As you may recall, you can join your local group and if you want to get rid of something you post an OFFER: and hopefully someone else thinks your trash is treasure and requests it. Less often, someone posts a WANTED: to get something they need but don't have and hopefully someone has one getting dusty in the basement and gives it to the requestor. All transfers are free.

I saw this WANTED in my inbox a few days ago:
WANTED: 5-6 yr old boy or girl clothing
Interesting, I thought. A while back, someone wanted a princess Halloween costume for her son, and I wondered if this was something similar. More likely, the mom just wasn't fussy about whether her daughter wore boy or girl clothing. Or the daughter wasn't fussy.
Normally, I ignore OFFERs or WANTEDs for kid stuff. I have no need, and none to give. But I had to take a look:
Just wanted to know if anyone had any 5-6 yr old boy or girl clothing. I have twins.
I admit it.... I didn't see THAT coming!
I love it "I have twins", I almost choked on my coffee! Too funny!
