 BM> Could be.  Actually, I'd think that the school would provide, keep as

Naw, part of the 'fun' for parents is getting that list every year and having
to
get stuff.  I remember some of the parents giggling over this same safety glass
issue (Sasebo) for older kids.  One of the husbands 'accidently' brought a box
home from work of them and they 'accidently' landed in the ladies car where she
'accidently' left the trunk open and being a gossip, told all her friends who
told their friends who told their kids,....  (sorry, your tax dollars at work
but I hope you dont mind too much, such is a rare thing).

BTW, you can mail order them which was about the only other way to find them 
in Sasebo but you have to wait 6-8 weeks for them to arrive mail order.

It is.  Charlotte was all upset when the news said not allowed to go out over
age 12 here (came on about 10 mins ago).  I told her we are going out a bit
anyways to the few houses nearby and borrowing the neighbor's 4yo as cover <g>.

Humm, now what will I dress up as?  I do have a second kimono and some aging
makeup skills to make me look like an old lady....  tehehehe
