I’m starting a new movement. I call it “Death to the Goodie Bag.” Although I’m sure whoever conceived of the goodie bag concept for kids’ birthday parties did so purely out of kind-heartedness and generosity, the goodie bag, to me, has become nothing but a sack of small pieces of shit kids bring home and [...]
