An embarrassingly large pile of junk
When the wave of Chinese toy recalls rolled in this fall, we went through the big pile of toys(tm) and binned every "made in China" toy that we couldn't find a "we don't contain lead" disclaimer for. All of these toys were stuffed into shopping bags and stored in the back room while we decided whether to do lead testing or not ("not" won when we found that lead testing swabs cost about US$2.00 EACH) and finally made it into the garbage can this afternoon.
Good lord, this is an embarrassingly large pile of stuff. And since we couldn't be sure that they were actually *safe*, we couldn't give it away, but had to throw it out. It's just our part in the grand plan to destroy the ecosystem on this planet. Our grandchildren will thank us for this. Not.
