Dear Humans,

I bought a new shirt last weekend and it came with a tiny baggie with two extra buttons. I’m sure I’ve never used the extra buttons that come with a new shirt because by the time a button falls off, I’ve misplaced the extras and just find the closest approximation from the button jar. Or I get rid of the shirt. 

But I think I’d still be a little mad if I bought a new shirt and it didn’t come with that little baggie of extra buttons.

We don’t only do things in life because they’re useful or necessary. Sometimes we do them because we think they ought to be done. We can’t control if other people use it or ignore it; we can only keep providing those little baggies of extra buttons.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
