Dear X:
Thank you so much for your thoughtful gift for the baby! Every time I look at it gathering dust in the drawer, it feels like a reproach, since the baby can only wear so many outfits with scratchy collars and tight cuffs in a the six week time frame during which the 0-3 month size actually fit. But we love it almost as much as we adore the 24 champagne flutes we acquired after our wedding! Lord knows why I actually washed the outfit and put it on her the first time, but since I don't have time or energy to return things, particulary not without gift receipts, and wouldn't dream of regifting it and putting another new mother through this charade of false gratitude for something so useless and unnecessary, I felt obligated to dress the baby in it once and take a picture that I have sent to you via e-mail. I am looking forward to seeing you again soon, at which time you will undoubtedly want to hold the baby after eating peanuts without washing your hands first!
Much love,
Mom, Dad, and Baby

I am not really an ungrateful bitch -- we are lucky to have so many generous friends -- but this baby thing is the road to excess. I hate waste, and I have small closets.
