So apparently we do this Scrip thing at school where people can buy giftcards to places and if they do it in our name we get back 2%. Something like that. So I'm sitting at lunch and Ginny is explaining this to me and telling me that today is the day we hand out all the information for it to the parents. 

You have to see where I'm going with this, right?

So I tried to explain to her that this wouldn't be a money-making idea this year because NO ONE is buying giftcards because WHO KNOWS if they'll be honored. She had no idea what I was talking about. I went on to tell her about all the companies that are no longer honoring cards and she just looked at me and said, "Well, people wouldn't do that because that wouldn't be nice!"

And what I'm trying to say is, Why is it that I get frustrated when people don't understand greed and desperation? Would the world be a better place if none of us understood this? Hmmm.
