The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
This us a genius move. Reminds me of the Jack Handey quote: "if a little kid every asks you why it's raining, tell them it's raining because God is crying. And God is crying BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DID."
At what point do you run out of boxes and throw the kid into the fireplace? Why not increase the efficiency of the operation and start there?
Since it seems to be illegal to sell children on eBay, even poorly-raised ones (although renting some of the older ones seems to have been accepted for millenia), it's not against the law to put them up for adoption; there are even legally- and socially-sanctioned organizations that will provide assistance in the endeavor.
In the long run that's cheaper than buying all that gift wrap for empty boxes, not to mention what firewood costs these days, plus it frees up your weekends.

It's all about the Guilt.

I thought, that was what the flat-of-your-palm on the seat-of-their-pants was for?
