Sorry for your dilemma BKD. That is so frustrating. I'm pretty sure Gifties are like snowflakes, even if you are in the middle of a snowstorm you won't find two alike (My kids are busy decorating the house with snowflakes hence the analogy). So I agree the teacher's reply that she has a bunch is a really naive one or you are sitting on a gold mine with a ton of gifties in one place. R u?

Anyways, I love the question so I asked DS7 also. He said he would jump too. And if he couldn't make it, he would go back down and water the beanstalk until it grew tall enough. wink
