It's a bit like getting a kid MegaBloks for his birthday. Yeah, he should be thankful that he got a gift at all. On the other hand, you should definitely try to give gifts that the receiver will actually like. That kid's probably not going to be happy if what he really wanted was blocks that fit together properly with his Lego, like the set that Sally got for her birthday.

People stopped eating goose because of the expense. It tastes like flying steak. I would make it every holiday if it wasn't so expensive.

- jhbadger 10y agoLobster and oysters used to be cheap food for the poor as well. Expense is a lot of what makes food desirable, though.
