My son received a TMX Elmo a couple years ago. My younger son is afraid of it. No matter how we try, he fears Elmo to the point that Elmo was put away for ever. My husband said to sell it.
Last week, I saw a man and woman with their toddler son at Wal-Mart. They were showing their toddler an Elmo doll and talking about getting it, but it was too costly. I overheard, and went over. "We have one if you want it," I said. They looked at me funny, then I explained the situation. I repeated, "It is used, but if you want it, you can have it." I gave her my card.
The next day, an email from her. Yes, they would love to have it. We arranged it, and today I passed the giddy, rolling, annoying Elmo off to family that could give him a wonderful home.
Only after did I realize that was fulfilling an "assignment" from Kathy, to donate something.
