I totally agree with you Rose and Maria.  I do think it is wrong for children to be left out, especially at that age, when they don&#39;t understand why.  I ended up having to order 25 boxes of cookie dough to get Scotty over the &#036;300 mark - actually came to &#036;311.  When I gave his teacher the check, she said &quot;my goodness, what are you going to do with all that cookie dough&quot; and I told her that I would be giving it away because I had no use for nor the space to store it in my freezer.  I said that I would not have been buying it if it weren&#39;t for the fact that my grandson would be left out of the party and prizes if I didn&#39;t.  When I went to the school to order the stuff, Scotty was just getting out (11:10) and he wanted to go with grandma, so he has been with me all day.  Well, gotta&#39; go serve up dinner...
